Greg Myers Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 First thing you did , back in the day when ya got yer new ride was lose those big chunky stock wheel covers, paint the wheels black and snap on some Baby Moons. Baby Moons not full Moon Disks. smooth clean, no manufactures names or logos. They fit the three nub type wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) There were other types, but none were as popular. Full wheel baby moon wheel cover.There was also a smaller cap that fit inside the inner wheel ring and they all looked good on chromies.

Ramfins59 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Yep, Baby Moon caps were the way to go to dress up your ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Baby moons are a "little known" car fact? What next? A vinyl top exposé? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Baby moons are a "little known" car fact? What next? A vinyl top exposé? Could be a vinyl top-less expose on the Plymouth Superbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Baby moons are a "little known" car fact? What next? A vinyl top exposé? Hey Harry, I think there are a lot of people out, especially younger folk, who may not know what's being talked about when these terms come up. Heck, there are some of us older folk who maybe a little mixed up on exactly what is a "Moon disc" or "exhaust cut outs"? I like these "Little Know Car Facts" postings. I don't know if I've learned anything new personally. But, if it keeps going, I'm sure I will. Maybe calling them "Little Know" is the wrong title. Maybe "Clarification of Terms" or sometime else would be more correct. Scott Edited September 2, 2014 by unclescott58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 In the mid eighties I had a 78 Cutlass that became rattle can flat black then I switched from ralley wheels to steel rims and baby moon caps.Yes I agree that sooner or later we will all learn something from these posts.

Tom Geiger Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Always loved Baby Moons! Here's a set that actually came in this kit about 26 years ago. First full detail model I finished as an adult! Full covers out of the Deora kit. Full moons... these were in the old Monogram Green Hornet '32 Ford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
