Five 14" Plymouth Mag-Style, aka Mag-Type, Dealer Installed hubcaps.
I have owned for a long time, unfortunately, before me, one fell victim to stupidity and a lug wrench.
The one on the top left is not as nice as the others. I was going to use the center for the missing lug cap, but it's not as nice.
I figured I could cut a lug off clean on it, grind the damaged one flat, and epoxy it on.
I couldn't cut up a Plymouth cap, so I bought this: [FOR SALE] - Dodge Mag Hubcap
Never found their way on to a car, so the end of my boring story.
The four caps are darn nice, some pitting in areas, a scratch, a ding I think, etc.
Two have some scratches along the outer edge, but no dents.
Caps need to be separated to repaint the black, get some Quick-Glo for the shiny parts, trust me on this, then put back together and they will look amazing.
Back sides are not rusted up garbage, including the bolt heads and the flexible pieces that grip the rim. In fact, I don't see any rust in the pics and it makes me want to pull them out again and double check.
The exception is the cap on the top left, and that one isn't terrible.
The cap on the top left is also missing the correct finish in the center, and there is some orange paint residue on the front in one spot and on the back in the center. No idea why.
I've never taken one apart, but it appears they come apart in at least two pieces.
The center with the lug nuts and the spokes are one piece, the black background and chrome outer trim are the other.
These are quite heavy, and because of this the spikes that hold them on will dig into any paint you have on your wheel when installing, so be prepared.
Not perfect, however incredibly nice for 50+ years. The pics make me think twice, probably why I take them out and put them back every year. I'll never use them though.
$600 plus shipping from 12302.
That's right, going big and staying home.
I have a box and I'm going to buy a ton of bubble wrap tomorrow just in case.
Any questions or additional pics let me know. My apologies for the ridiculousness.
