chunkypeanutbutter Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Top ones look like Mercedes Rudge wheels?

ChrisBcritter Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) #2: Early '60s AMT custom units from one of the 3 in 1 kits (have to look this up).#3: '59-'60 Chevy dog dish hubcaps.#4: '58-'59 Lincoln wheelcovers (and/or Continental Mk II).#6: '56-'57 Lincoln wheelcovers (possibly based on the Lincoln Futura ones).

pharoah Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 The second ones look like custom parts from an early 60's AMT kit.
Edsel-Dan Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Yea. #1 are the Rudge rims from AMT's 300 SL Gullwingand #5 look like Buick Mags
Art Anderson Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Top ones look like Mercedes Rudge wheels? Yes, #1 is the set of Rudge knockoff wheels from the AMT Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing.
afx Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 #7: Kidney Bean Hlibrands - possibly from AMT's Shelby Cobra
IceMan Collections Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 Thank you all very much. That helps. Will keep looking on the rest.
gtx6970 Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 #8 Shelby 10 spokes ? if you want to unload #4 , I am interested
Art Anderson Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 #2 looks suspiciously like wheel covers from the AMT '64 Corvette kit to me.Art
ChrisBcritter Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) ^^^ I checked the '64 Vette instructions and they don't seem to match; the closest I'm finding from the instruction sheets on Fotki may be the custom wheelcovers from the original AMT '62 Thunderbird hardtop - but I couldn't turn up a photo. Anyone have an original kit? Edit: Found a small image of an unbuilt '62 on eBay; maybe a match? Edited November 25, 2015 by ChrisBcritter
Snake45 Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Yeah, those don't look like the wheel covers in my AMT '64 Vette, either.http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mLC3YTPgGQm1Kk6DI-uvCKQ.jpg Edited November 25, 2015 by Snake45
IceMan Collections Posted November 25, 2015 Author Posted November 25, 2015 Thanks everyone. That helps me label these for future use.
ProStreetOnTheStrip Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 To me #7 looks like mopar 1969 "recall" wheels
