    Yup thats a magnum 500 center cap.Looks like the center merc emblem is dead though.Try looking in a mercury cougar catalogue...You should be able to get re-pops.If all else fails try AKH wheels(thats where I got my nos ones for the Sprint)
    Good luck Dave!!!

    Looks like the Ford crest that came on all the Magnum 500 and Styled steel wheels. Suppose to be red in the center. My 1977 Comet has them as well.....so Mercury must have used them as well. The Maverick center cap decals I sell fit them perfectly.

    You can find used caps at swap meets. I have a bunch I have bought that way. One here.....two there.....etc.
