Vintage plymouth hubcaps

My wife has a 33 Plymouth PD rumble seat. It has 2 spare tires mounted 1 on each front fender, for a total of 6 hub caps. The hub caps are in need if restoration, so I took them to a re-chromer. Turns out they are aluminum, vintage plymouth hubcaps, and nearly impossible to restore without loosing a lot of vintage plymouth hubcaps.

The addition of a heavy metal or plastic cover to protect and beautify a car's wheels just isn't used any more. As a result of the shift in design to decorative rims, the obsolete wheel cover has increased in collector appeal.

The chrome decorations tend to turn up in piles at garage sales and antique stores, as well.
