That's a purty thang! Hope it finds a good home and hope the friend's wife gets thru her illness.
Just occurred to me- 56 Fiesta caps were often stolen. Reckon the new-for-57 wheelcover attaching clips were a response to that? Knowing that the fancy Olds spinners wouldn't easily mount to a normal wheel might have discouraged theft.

I've always called all 53-59 Olds spinner caps Fiestas, but I guess technically 53 Fiesta and 54-55 88-98 are the real Fiesta caps.
Hialeah, that listing still shows removed. Did the car sell?

That's one sweet 56. Too rich for my blood. I'll just have to stick with the 56 I already have.
