Diggin' the fiesta caps. Everyones got their opinion but I really dig those old hubcaps. Awesome build you got goin' on there too bud. Looks sweet.

The Revell Ed Roth issue of the 1/25 '56 Ford pickup is the only kit I know of that has the '54-'55 Olds Fiestas (several kits have the 1/24 '56 versions that first appeared in the Skip's Drive In issue of the '59 Ford Skyliner). They are somewhat small in diameter though which is why I added the BMF "trim ring" around the rims on the '40's wheel; so there wouldn't as much of reveal of the red rim with the caps on.

Another alternative is available on an otherwise terrible Chinese diecast of the '55 Olds Super 88 ragtop. That's what I used for the wheels and tires on this in-prog Ertl diecast '50 Olds...
