According to this website (http://www.hubcaps.org/), they are 66 Olds full size. I think the original wheel covers look a lot better but then that was not the way it looked when grandma owned it.

These have worked well for twenty some years so I guess they will
do for a little while longer
I would like to get a set of the origanal spinners.

Redoldsman is correct. They are the '66 full size optional "turbine type" covers. I think more of the cars had them than the standard cover.

Just remember they have those PITA clips to hold them on, and they have to be painted to match the car. You can also paint them white or silver to go with any color.
