Dog Dish Hub Caps

Browniepetersen

Does anyone have a photograph of what the dog dish hubcap (small center cap) looks like that was used on the 1954 Hudsons?

My 54 WASP has center hubcaps and beauty rings...Is this what you are looking for?

Can you see them in the AVATAR?

I can provide a larger pic if this is what you are looking for...I also have some spares that need some work to clean up

Brownie, Your Hornet Special coupe did not come with tiny dog dish caps. It originally had the partial disc cap that covered the full center disc of the wheel. They were stainless steel and the only change from the '52-54 Hornet partial discs was that the center emblem was changed from the red triangle to the style of emblem that was present in the '51-54 true full wheel discs that were standard on the '54 Hornets and Jet Liners and had been optional the three prior years. That emblem is the white triangle in a blue background with the opposed ships and castles. The caps are on the car in my old picture posted in another thread but I appreciate they are hard to see in the blurry Polaroid.
But perhaps you want to change to the tiny dog dish types as in the post above mine.

Brownie - The same small hub cap they started using with the introduction of the Pacemaker in 1950, with the red triangle in the center.
The picture of the '54 Wasp above are what you want if you want the small cap. The Hornet Special came with the larger almost full cap with the red, white & blue crest in the center like I have on my car (Picture of my '54 attached)

Brownie, can you attach the photos I sent you of my '54 Club Coupe? The hub caps are different than the ones posted above.

This is the photo that Vic sent to me. You can see that the caps on his car are of the rounded shape of the full 1954 cap but attach to the wheel clips and give room for a chrome accent. These are the type of cap that I am looking for. My second choice will be the small cap with the red diamond. That is the one that I had on my 52. You will need to click on the photo with your mouse to see the cap.

This is the model 6D, '54 Hornet Special standard factory wheel cover. Found with a Google search. Unfortunately this one has had its center "clocked" but you still should get the picture. There were four of these on your 6D when it was new and when I bought it and when I sold it. I had very carefully repainted them by hand and they were NICE.

So that means, if I am correct, you could have the wire wheel, the wire hubcap, the full moon cap (with the above emblem), the half moon cap (with the above emblem and the one you show above. Now I need 4 of any of them....
