    They have the old Ford emblem on them, one is missing. Were in the back of my '57 wagon, but could be from anything. I'm taking them up to Pettit Jean to see if I can sell them. I would give you guys first grab, but Pettit Jean is only once a year, and I need the money to buy the gas tank for my mav. If anybody's interested, though, message me and if they haven't sold, I'll hold them for you. They're for 13" wheels, I believe, because they are just too small for my Mav's 14"s.:cry:
    They have the old Ford emblem with the three shields on them, and I can't find out anything about them because my family's all chevy guys and no one can tell me anything about them. I'd like to know what they're off of and how much I should sell them for.
    Thanks guys.

    Those are Buick hubcaps. Give me a few minutes...might be able to get you an application.

    Hmmm. the emblem in the middle is the same as was on the hood ornament on my station wagon, which has since discentegrated, or however you spell it. It's also on the steering wheel.
    Well, thanks for the info. Any idea how much they're worth?

    This is what the Ford Crest looks like on the 50's Fords.

    I used to sell used hubcaps. I finally got out of the business due to a lack of interest....not only on my part...but on the part of the general public.

    What are they worth? In my opinion.......you would be lucky to get $5 or $10 out of all of them.....very lucky.

    I agree. And before you can even get that, you gotta find somebody that wants/needs them. Good luck with them.

    When I finally threw in the towel was when I was selling my hubcaps on ebay and they were only bringing one dollar for a set of (4). By the time I took the pictures, set up the auctions, paid ebay fees, boxed them up, took them to the post office to be shipped out, and then left feedback....I was paying somebody to take the hubcaps. :D

    Oh well, thanks for the help, guys. I'll still take 'em to Pettit Jean, because ANYTHING can sell there, so if anyone will pay for 'em, that person will be there. Just gotta find 'em. I seen an old hand saw for sale there, solid rust and a rotted wood handle, and was like "who in their right mind would buy that?" But guess what I saw someone walking out of the show with in their hand. The saw, so I dug the one out of the back of my station wagon that looks just like it and am going to take it up there. Maybe that guy will be back this year.
