Anyone know which model and year this ford hubcap originates?

 

That is a 1957 through 1959 passenger car and Ranchero hubcap

 

B7A-1130-A .. Hubcap (white/stainless) used on 1957 Fords & T-Birds, also used on 1959 Fords.

1958 is one year only (B8A-1130-A), has a different color center (cannot recall what it is, but it's either red or black).

 

Bill, is there anything you DON"T know? I only knew this one because 59 Fords are my Passion.

 

Had a nice all original 1959 Galaxie ragtop once, bought it in April 1976 ($500.00-those were the days!) from a guy who needed money for taxes.

I traded it to a bodyman pal of mine in exchange to do the body work (it was rusty as sin) and paint on my 1957 Ranchero. He still has it.

I sold the Ranchero several years later to the fleet manager of the dealer I was working at, he later sold it to actress Melissa Gilbert.

Spotted it on the Simi (118) Freeway in 2004 (Gilbert wasn't driving it), so it may still be around. I've owned 7 1957 Fords and a Thunderbird. No 1958's, IMO...fugly.

 

Around here, guys would make this hubcap fit over the lugs on front wheels of F-600 trucks.

 

Saw them on this '66 Slick I found on eBay . I'm not into the lowered thing but I think they look nice on this truck.

Wonder which steelies they're on.
