  • One Set Of NOS Wheel Covers, AC 2799

    At the SB Meet last week, I met a guy who offered a set of four, NOS, AC 2799s. He did not have them with him, so I did not see them. I was not interested, but offered to pass the info along. If anyone here is interested, PM and I will pass you his contact info.

    Isn't that the rare Simulated Spoke Type Wheelcover?

        Had the AC-2799 reproduced some years ago. $30,000 project. Just sold the last of the 512 caps today! Wonder if the South Bend seller had genuine NOS or my reproductions? Believe the reproductions would be superior in some cases to the NOS since most NOS caps have some shelf wear after close to 60 years.

            Made available mid model year 1956. Correct for 1956-57 and '58s with the 15" wheels. Sold them all to Studebaker owners! Did wholesale a bunch to Ed Reynolds at Studebaker International.

                Joe, do you know if that guy also had a NOS set of 4 AC-2738 wheel covers? Thanks

                  He only mentioned the AC2799s.

                    No, one run only. Generally after I sell out I sell the tooling to Ed at SI. I do not recall if he purchased the tooling for these particular caps.
