I don't know who made them but they sure were popular. Even my father's '67 Meteor Rideau had them.

The MPC Jeepster has (had?) those wheel covers.

Only the first couple of issues.  But they were very well done.  I cast a few sets years ago, still have one set with plating on them.  Those are set aside for my XL/GT.

Wish Hobby Lobby would have stocked this kit"..

I completely agree with you Hobby Lobby doesn’t rotate their kit selection  nearly as often as they used to. Don’t they realize there’s only so many Camaros and mustangs we can build. They used to have a pretty good rotation every 6 months.

that is correct; they were also standard on the '65 Malibu SS396 with different center caps.

FWIW, to bring the topic back - with gates opened, a number of parts to restore a '67-68 Galaxie are also in the box. The cammer 427 is excellent and could go a long way to helping to build a Here Come De Judge '57 T-Bird.
