Life in the Fair Lane Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 To my knowledge, no one has ever made a '63 hub cap. As a side note, all XLs from 1962 through 1968 came factory with XL wheel covers. By 1969, Ford trashed the XL by making a six cylinder, hub caps, b/s/w tires and bench seat standard equipment. Some "Extra Lively!" performance car that turned out to be... Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Since about three years I own a 63½ Galaxie 500 XL so I do have some knowledge about them. All wheels was 14 inch and you could get either the regular wheel cover...these were also available without the spinner. Or the optional wire cover This is also a style of wheel cover used on 63 Galaxies but I don't know if it was available on XL's. My car was delivered from the factory with the wire caps...but I have 7X15 and 8X15 wheels with the poverty caps on it now as I like the look, that's why I'm looking for them so I can do a model of my car. Here is a new picture as the one in my first post disappeared...this is my car by the way. Edited March 14, 2019 by Force Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hub caps were standard on all except XL models. Spinners were standard equipment on XL, including XL Squire, models. Non-spinners were optional on everything but XL. I know... it's a muddy subject, but I hope this helps clear it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) I believe I have this issue covered as a fellow modeler offered to help me doing a 3D CAD drawing and 3D print of the poverty caps I'm looking for.
