^^^^^^^ i believe you are right. Typed in early 50s search, this is real close, just not close enough.😁
Wonder if they are aftermarket, I would think that GM would have stamped a part number on them

I think it's a 1950s Belair center cap

Been bombarded with tops the past few months. Kinda took a break from my own car since I work on cars all day. Had one car with a 45k paint job and another bought for 125k. These 2 ain't those. 65 galaxy 500 and a 65 barracuda. Currently working on a GT500 Shelby.

They are not Ralley, they were 2-pc. A base and then a screw on center. 67-68 Ralleys had a short center cap, 69 up had a tall ribbed center cap. 67-68 did look similar to posted caps.
I've seen them before, just can't remember on what. Check on early/mid 60s. Look like maybe Chevy 2, Chevelle/300 lower model caps.

I figure this is a good place to ask.......Does anyone recognize these center caps? I found this on Marketplace and they appear to be for rallys, but have never seen them before. Any information would be helpful. Thanks!

I need to do this to the rear of mine. Being a 4-door it has a belt-line around the bottom and goes up by the rear fenders around a corner. Gonna take a pro to pull that off.

To be honest, I never thought of casting my own lenses, but I'll kep it in mind. It would be cool to have home made custom ones, though.

I am the same way. I have been doing all my own work for so long If you ever thought about it there are some very good urethanes and epoxies that cast very well in plaster molds for making your own lenses. If you can find one that fits and you like it, make some up of your own. In my casting business, I have been asked to reproduce a lot of items and not all of them automotive.

Fun to see someone's thinking about the small details. I've wondered about the amount of sealing some obviously dysfynctional lamp seals do.
Last saturday I was at a small swap meet and scored a couple small crhomed lamps, thinking they might look good as front turn signals on my Buick. No lenses in them, though, so I'll have to be creative... They were cheap. Cheap is my middle name.
