Wheel Covers - 14"

Anyone know if these wheel covers are worth anything to anyone? Had them on the car when I bought it. I have since added SSII's. I think they may be Delt Holiday covers. I looked it up once, but have now forgotten.

One has a minor curb kiss (+/- 6").

Sitting in my garage for years. If they are worth something, I'd like to sell.

Thanks.

Wow - those things sure are shiny and clean! YES they are worth something!
They will be worth the most to the one restoring a car that came with these - any clue to what year were they from?
Not sure what the dollar amount would be but if they look as nice in real life as they do in the picture, they would be worth waiting for that sale!
I would take a WAG of 100 or more.

I have always liked the chrome wire wheels and WW covers. I see them as classy and sophisticated (but a bear to clean)...
When was the last time a car was made with wire wheel covers? It has been a long time. Luxury now days has moved away from classy and sophisticated to 'sporty and technology'...

A continuation of the wires starting in '64, with basically the same components except centers.
'64-'65 same 2-bar spinners with different black inserts, '66 3-bar spinners, '67 round (no bars) but smaller than the '68 centers.

nice hubcaps and they are worth a bit so maybe advertise them here or locally. I found mine on ebay for a decent price but most I saw were 2-3 times what I paid. Mine are 15' and I had to actually custom cut the rocket emblems from an old set and insert in the new ones.

I got a real nice set of those on ebay for $125 (including shipping) but that was several years ago. I believe what you have is worth at least that now. Randy C.

Looking on ebay last year I did not find anything that cheap.Like anything the price for a nice set of original wire caps has gone up considerably. I would check out the prices and then put them on a little cheaper just to sell them. you could advertise them here as well.

I would scoop those up in a second if the shipping to Canada wouldn't make my wife put a pillow over my head while I slept.
