Thank you guys for the wonderful welcome, and advice. I can't wait for this terrible winter weather to be over with so I can get to work on this car, and start driving it.

The hubcap(s) I'm looking for?

This 98 has a set:

So does this Delta 88:

This guy's beauty is wearing a set:

and his picture shows them best:

This is the hubcap that I'm looking for. I've seen it on different 1972 models, mostly Custom Cruisers but also the 98's and 88's. If anyone has some of these lying around I'd be interested... paying $100.00 for one plus shipping from hubcaps.org seems more than a little steep... any suggestions?

NOTE: As you can see below, it's my driver's rear hubcap that doesn't match. Not sure what year Olds it's from... maybe late '60s?

rocketraider: Good eye sir! I am a funeral director apprentice, working at a locally owned funeral home here in Windsor, N.S. These photos were taken in my boss's garage, where I am fortunate enough to be able to wash my vehicles. I took this the day after buying the wagon. It needed washed severely, and thoroughly after driving home through a terrible blizzard on salty roads. Couldn't bear having that salt sit on the car until Spring!
