I saw a couple of cheap Hudson hubcaps on eBay and if left me wondering if there is an easy way to identify what they actually came from?



Here is the auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170384244419&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

    That style was used from 50-53 on the Commodore's and Hornets. At some point they changed from plated (which by the backside rust these look to be) to stainless.

    Nick is correct . Hudson changed from plated with zinc coated steel inner caps to all stainless in 1952. Easiest way to tell if you're not sure is just by holding them. Stainless caps weight a lot less than the plated caps.
