I am involved with a project and I have to identify 40 hubcaps from 1930’s to 1970ish. I have about 10 I can not figure out what make or year they came from. I have pictures. Does any body want to test there knowledge of hubcaps? ---

If you post the pictures, I am sure that some of us would like to try to identify them. ---

That is tough! I’m thinking 1 is a 70s era chevy, but that is a tough project. Maybe this guy would be nice enough to help you. [http://www.onlyoriginalhubcaps.com/](http://www.onlyoriginalhubcaps.com/) ---

I can’t quite tell how far out it sticks, but #1 looks a lot like the hubcaps on my '64 Buick LeSabre, but minus the emblem. That would make me definitely think 60’s vintage GM product. Given the lack of emblem, probably a bare-bones Chevy. The second to the last one looks like what’s on my friend’s 80-something Caravan, but by that point Chrysler may have only had a couple of hupcap designs, so it could be from anything. ---

#3 might be from a 70’s era Ford Pinto ---

#6 looks like an Oldsmobile logo in the middle? #8 looks like a Caddy logo in the middle? ---

#8 looks awfully tasteful for being a Cadillac hubcap. I was thinking it might have been from one of the years where Ford had their silly coat-of-arms thing. ---

There is a subculture of hubcap collectors that have websites and reference catalogs. Have you tried Googling for “hubcap reference photo catalogs” or something like that? ---

The last photo looks a lot like the Chrysler Newport emblem of the 1960’s-1970’s. ---

Is anyone able to identify this hubcap? It is on my 1999 Lincoln Continental Town Car, Signature Series. Thank you! ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/2X/f/fdb992a4976ff20f83f9d501b73890e5af632a7a.jpg) ---

The logo sort of looks like the front grill of an antique car, but I don’t recognize it. If nobody here knows, you might can get Google to match it for you. Take a close-up of the logo, store that as a jpg on your computer, then surf to the Google image website. You’ll see a little camera icon at the top. Click on that and you can upload your jpg to Google, who will compare it to all of their stored photos for a match. I tried it myself using the photo above, but didn’t get any car related matches. But I didn’t have a close up of just the logo to work with. [Next page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/identifing-hubcaps/32904.md?page=2)
