54 Hornet NEED wire wheel covers or wire wheels

edited November -1 in HUDSON
I need recommendations as to what will make the wheels look the best on the
54 Hudson Hornet or Super Wasp Hollywood cars. I want to be able to drive
this car on long trips so I assume the wire spoke wheels are not suitable for
that abuse - only transport and show. Therefore, anyone have any
NOS Hudson-type wire spook hub caps. I'm green in this area and welcome
all replies and tips. I want my car, currently under restoration, to REALLY
stand out and wheels/covers add a lot, I realize. This car has the
vintage, wide white wall tires on it. Please post here or e-mail me

  • There is a nice selection of 1954 photos on the Smoky Mountain site. There is a 1954 Coupe with wire wheels on the Mid South site.
