Title: Mystery Center Caps
Post by: Senior31 on May 23, 2024, 03:26:26 PM
  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!

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 think it's a 1950s Belair center cap

^^^^^^^   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

Thanks fellas..... I am in same boat.  I can not find an exact match.  Spoke with my Dad and he feels like he has seen them as well, but can not place it.  He said look in the 50's, but I have not had any luck.  I appreciate all the feedback.  Unfortunately, the guys has gone dark on me.  I was going to buy them and just try to figure it out, but no luck so far.

These are Chevy Citation caps (part # 475147)- about 1980.
I liked them for their vintage look, still have some NOS in my stash.

Winner winner, chicken dinner! I was sure off the mark, but they do look old.

Old Mrs Brown down the street had one. Worked on it several times, always hitting her carport. I knew i had seen them before😁
