dpollo Posted April 8, 2016 Report Posted April 8, 2016 Merle called it right. Unlicensed replacement parts. I have seen similar in the 46-48 style and also for Chevrolet. Some people would never notice. Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted April 8, 2016 Report Posted April 8, 2016 the hubcaps are just 20.00 the rest is for spelling lessons... 1 Quote
pflaming Posted April 8, 2016 Report Posted April 8, 2016 Explode the picture and see if the background reflection gives a hint. Maybe they were made as a phonic fund raiser! Quote
Young Ed Posted April 8, 2016 Report Posted April 8, 2016 These are old reproduction parts. I have some P15 ones. Interesting they have the same ship as a P15 cap but the misspelled plymouth. Quote
jrhoads Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) I have a set myself on the 49. Actually, they look quite nice and seem to be good quality. Apparently I got a good deal. I paid 60 bucks for a set on E-bay Edited April 9, 2016 by jrhoads Quote
pflaming Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 I find these to be amusing, so I am wondering, how did they spell Dodge or say Ford, or Chevrolet? Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 as I have been told by folks in the business, Chrysler even today stymies the market with license fees and such that are way expensive and so involved that it makes reproducers risk at making a profit such that it is not affordable. It would be an all together different issue if Chrysler themselves were still supporting the older car and not just sitting by shooting their loyal fans in the foot. This very availability of the parts for the other two major players of the era is what gives them the edge to hobbyists. More old Mopars would be going at gangbuster prices if the stuff were readily available and while good for the model, would hit you in the pocket book as the first time buyer as the prices for the heaps would go up..so flip a coin and go with lower initial cost and fabrication/searching..or pay to play and bolt by number car as the other two. 1 Quote
Robin (UK) Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 I had a set of aftermarket 1930s Dodge caps and the lettering read 'OOOOO' Quote
