Hubcap ID and info

[Modlbldr]

Does anyone know what year and make this hubcap is? It may be a custom cap but I'd like to find some in 1/25 that are identical, not close to.

I need a set that is identical to this for a build of my cousin's car. Any help is appreciated. I haven't been able to locate a year or make on the internet. The closest I could come was a 14 inch custom 4 bar. Anyone make them in resin?

I've found sites on the web that call them Crossbar hubcaps and Starburst hubcaps (although I also found two completely different styles called Starbursts also). The 57 lancer caps i found didn't look like the ones I'm looking for. The 57 Lancer had four bars but they didn't connect over the top like the Crossbars do.

Does anyone know for sure if the F&F resin 57 Lancer caps connect in the center over the top?

If so, does anyone have a set to trade? I need these to do a replica of my cousin's 50 Ford. He passed away Sunday and I want to finish this build up ASAP.

Tom, I believe these to be ACTUAL AFTERMARKET hobcaps and NOT any FACTORY original design. The DO look like Lancer caps, But i don't remember them crossing on top like that. They LOOK like the caps you could order from, Hollywood Hot Rod Shop, or the ol "Honest Charlies" Speed shop catalog. They used to advertise in ALL the old Hot Rod an Car Craft Magizines. If you can find an old issue,from the 60's you'll see them rascals there! Hope this helps:D :D

I believe George is right!

Those caps are Kustom aftermarket items styled to have the same traits as the "Olds Fiesta" and "Dodge Lancer" caps so popular with the 50's custom rodders. Question is.... who made it? J.C. Whitney would be my guess....

Hey, check this site out:

Thanks for all of the info guys.

Jairus- That website is cool. The ones they show on the first page HK06 is what I'm looking for in resin. Does anyone know a resin caster who makes them? Any resin caster want to try???? I'd buy a couple of sets.

Any help locating a resin version??
