They are for serie 92 and maybe others for 1939 (probably different models aswell), but not 112 as they have 112 on them. The worst part about that price is that someone who needs them will probably buy them for this price.
I have noticed that older cars and car parts (e.x. Hudson) can be wery overpriced if the seller is not fond of the cars. There was recently a importer in sweden that sold a plymouth from yhe 40's unrestored and not all of the trim and pieces where left on the car for almost $30k

OK, let's be fair about this. I have a nice one in my shop and I tried to sell it for $30 on eBay and did not get a single hit on it. I recently wrote the article on the restoration of a 32 Essex three section hubcap and found out that it would cost about $325 to restore one. So if you figure that these caps are about $125 each... And they look like high end driver quality. I say that they are a fair price.

I have two 1940 NOS hubcaps, never been fitted, with perfect chrome and paint. I couldnt sell them on Ebay also. Its all about waiting for the right person who can see the value and has the need. Its like taking a part to a swap meets for 10 years, and eventually selling it.

These are the same ones on my 39 series 92. Not 112 as everyone has stated. And the price...... =; no thanks! Glad I have all 4.

Prices on items for sale can be tricky. To low and potential buyers may think there's something wrong with the item (we are turning in a very paranoid people); to high and the smart buyer will go elsewhere - tho somebody with more bucks than brains probably will buy. I'll give you an example from experience. Fellow had two, I've forgotten the year now, but think it around 1946 or so. One was in fair condition - the other was a parts car. He want to move them so had $500 for the pair on a sign in the windshield. (This was back around 1975). I was talking with him and told him I thought that was pretty cheap price. He said he just wanted to get rid of them - he'd been trying to sell them for over a month. I told him, half jokingly his price was to low - ask $1500 for the pair. He upped the price and low and behold the two sold within 3 days. Go figure.

Alex is right it can be tricky. Another example. I listed my 1950 Pacemaker here for $1200 but no sale. That is understandable and OK but disappointing. Just because I am ready to sell doesn't mean someone is ready to buy, right then. I didn't want to go to Ebay but their pool of potential customers is huge whereas ours here is quite small. I also like the idea of possible bidding bringing my sales price up. The Hudson sold quickly for $1700 and was picked up the next day. Gert Kristiansen Deseret Chapter

This is the same clown who advertises various Hudson tail lights as being very rare, Step down super and commodore, at really high prices and I do not know if he sells any. Some people will pay a lot for junk. Arnie in Nevada.

Gert, did a local (regional) Hudson club member buy your brougham?

Courtesy Man

No Brownie, he is from S. Calif. and trailered the Hudson to store it in Ogden. I told him I would pay for his Hudson membership but then he neglected to leave me his address. Not really a Hudson fan, just liked this car. Not much of a socializer. Gert
