Greetings,
I need one hub cap for my newly purchased 1971 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight Coupe. I also need one chrome end cap for the door pull.
Thanks in advance!

can post a pic of the cap you're looking for ?

I happen to have both a single 15" Oldsmobile hubcap from that era and a full set of four. When I replaced the wheelcovers on my '73 wagon with spoke wheelcovers, these are the ones I took off. When I bought the car, included with all the stuff was an extra, 5th hubcap, and I never knew why the former owner had it.

Anyway, if you're interested, I'd sell the single one for $10 plus shipping. Let me know your zip code, and I can give you a shipping price. If you want the entire set of four, I'd take $35 plus shipping for those. One of those four has a dent/crease in it as the photo shows. It's not a perfect wheelcover, but it's perfectly serviceable, correct for the year, and would match the other three if you put them on the car.

Here's the single wheelcover. The Olds logo in the center is supposed to be black, but it has faded. Still a good wheelcover, though, if you don't have one at all. $10.00 plus shipping.





Here's the set of four. (Pay no attention to that device thingy in the lower left. These are hanging on the garage wall, and that's part of an automatic watering system.)

As I said, the one in the lower left has a mild crease in the lower left quadrant. It's not terrible or anything and isn't really noticeable when you get a few feet away. But I wanted to be sure and mention it. It's matched set with the center logos in better shape than the single one. $35 plus shipping.





Here's what they looked like on my wagon before I took them off.


Side A:




Side B: (Bet you can't tell which one has the crease! Neither can I.)






If these don't interest you, you could check, for example, ebay. I see both complete sets and single ones being sold all the time.

Here's just one I found in less than 30 seconds of searching.

Whatever you do, please post some photos of your new acquisition. Sounds like a nice car.


P.S. I saw the one photo of your car in the other thread. Very nice.

Thanks, I am new at posting on a forum so not sure what I am doing. I added some photos to a gallery but I will try to add a photo here too. It looks like it might match the other hubcaps I have so I would be interested in buying the one hubcap (my zip is 80538)

I'll send you a private message.

jaunty75,
Thanks, I responded to your private message but not sure it went through (I am pretty much a moron when it comes to forum methods). Anyway you should have received a notice from Paypal.
Thanks in advance!!

I am guessing the door pull covers will not be as easy to find unless they reproduce them.

jaunty75

Message received, payment received, and the wheelcover will go out in Tuesday's mail (Monday being Columbus Day). Thank you!

i have a 1972 ninety eight that i am parting out. could you send me a picture of one of your pull strap ends and i will check my car to see if they are the same? gtfolds@att.net greg.

Greg,
The 71, 72 & 73 base Ninety Eight and Toronados shoud be the same (square ends). However the 72 and 73 LS will probably have angled ends.

hmmm. i don't know which model my parts car is. will have to go and check. it is a 4door hardtop. greg.

coconv

Glad to hear it is a 4 door, it doubles the chance of having good door pulls.
Thanks and I will keep my fingers crossed that it is the base Ninety Eight with the square covers.

went yesterday to look at my parts car and it is an LS and has the angled ends on the covers. sorry i couldnt help you. greg.

coconv

Hmmm.. if you had 4 good ones I might be able to use those until I could find the correct square ones. Thanks! -Steve.
