I don't know the name of the style that those are called, but I do know that they make repros of them and most of them are JUNK! They don't fit well and the fake lug nuts fall off real quick. If you want some, cruise the JYs and flea markets and look for Ford markings or part#s to make sure you are getting the real deal.

They are called hub caps. :-)

That style originated, like most Ford hub caps, on a car, the Fairmont. I've never heard them referred to as "Fairmont-style" hub caps, however.

I call that style "old fart caps"...


...Generally seen on the wheels of trucks driven by old farts.

Don't be 'HATIN! Those "Old Man Caps" are OEM, and thus necessary for restoration. I've got a decent set for sale. PM Me.

Hubcaps.

You can probably find them in the junkyard, but you may need to get them off more than one vehicle to get a complete set in good condition. I helped my buddy find some for his 86 and we had to go to two places. Be sure to check the fake lug nut covers and make sure they are all there. Some aluminum cleaner/polish can go a long way towards making them look new too.

If you want to go the internet route, theres always eBay:

I'm going to start keeping an eye out for these things, I had no idea that cost so much
