67 Delta Hub Cap Options

guy.graziano · 05-05-2008, 06:10 PM

I cant seem to find anything in my "library" which shows any proof that you could order wire wheel caps for a 67 Delta 88. I have seen the 14" and 15" hubcaps.
I am sure that the 442 wires that year are the same for the full size. Any one have any thoughts or pics?
Thanks

Figure 15-96 in the 1967 CSM Shows "Wheel discs 33 thru 96 series" but doesn't specifically ID them to 88's. My "Oldsmobile Wheel Disc Identification Manual" doesn't show the 1967 wire cap at all??

However- I have known many 1967 88's that came with the wire caps, and they were definitely available for 1966 cars, so it stands to reason you could have them on a 1967 88. I DON'T think you could have them on a Ninety Eight- fenderskirt clearance issues.

The wheels that always intrigued me were the styled wheels pictured on some preliminary photos of 67-8 Delta Customs. They looked similar to a Shelby Mustang wheel and really made those big cars look racy. As far as I know they never made it to production, which was a shame.

My '66 thru '68 parts book lists both single discs and disc packages:

'67 exc. 98 or Toronado - 14" wire wheel
