Looking for correct hub caps for 74 Royal Convt.

Any have any hubcaps in decent shape that were made for the 74 Old Delta 88 Royal Convt?? I think there was a spoke and a flat faced types. I would think since my car but for the Conv is a bare bones car, no ac/power anything, it would have got the bare bone stock caps??

Probably, but what's the fun or style in that?

Find you some SSIV for that car. It will be like putting dancing shoes on it. There were a couple sets for sale on here in the last couple of weeks.

You need 15" Wheel covers or discs. Either that or a modern wheel to dress up the car. Wheel discs just don't do much IMO. This looks good


So do these torque thrusts



The SSIV wheels would look really nice too, but technically they're only for 71/72. A set that needs restoration would cost a lot of $$$ to redo as they have a polycast surface, and the center caps are not reproduced.

These are SSIV


I have a set of 1972 Cutlass 14" NOS wire wheel covers but unfortunately they won't fit your application.

No problem. I think it would look better with the wire wheel discs instead of plain wheel discs. Year correct of course.

Have you tried Blackburns? That's where I bought mine and they were NOS and perfect. Shipping was pricy but they were extremely well packed. Not a scratch on them anywhere. Note: the 72-75 wheel covers are very heavy and 'overbuilt', not like the cheapo stuff that started showing up in the early 80's.

In keeping with the "bare-bones" spirit of the car, I wonder if a dog-dish cap was available for the base 88? Would look kinda cool, IMO. You definitely don't see them around much.

Maybe for a bottom line 88 sedan but trust me, those are TOO plain for a convertible. They're aluminum and I've never seen a set that the anodizing wasn't hazed.
