Question:
How do you install the the deluxe hubcaps for an Oldsmobile (1962)?
And why the heck didn't they put a hole for the valve?

Hopefully this will help. These clips really are a poor design. They should find the guy that came up with the idea, dig him up, and shoot him. Olds hid the valve stems from '57 thru '63, with the exception of '61. If you don't have retaining clips, they are available from Fusick Automotive. Expect to pay around $100 for a set.

That's cool, I never saw that before. Very cool.

Thanks for your email. This information was very helpful. Now, do you know where I can find some courtesy lamp covers for this car? They are bullet shaped, and am having a heck of a time finding them...

I don't see them in Fusick's catalog. How 'bout if you try Ames Performance Pontiac. They used similar lenses in the Bonnevilles and such. You can download their catalog online. Part #PA630D. $17 each. Unclear whether they are really available or not. Might be worth a phone call.
