Question Baby caps

does anyone know if Olds produced hubcaps (NOT Wheel covers) in the late 60`s or early 70`s ? I`m thinking about what may be called Dog Dish or poverty caps to use on Reversed chrome 15`s on a 73 88.

OK THANKS Good to know I`m not fishing a dry hole. So are those factory? look like 69`s where did you get them? I found a set from a 54, (OLD GLOBE LOGO) but think they are internal spring clip design. I sort of want something like what you have or maybe older school, Anyway, Thanks again.

Those are 1970-72 style and they are available from all the Olds repro houses. Fusick, OPGI, etc all have them.

Joe P. thanks. I have been looking for items listed under 88-98 and big body instead of under Cutlass --with no real luck.
