Can anybody tell me what car these are from? I have 2 and I'd like to get two more.

Also, give me your opinions- A) cool or B) too ugly to consider.

How about with 15's and redlines?

Thanks!

It could be- I found these in the barn and we did have a 62 impala in the family. I was thinking Impala or maybe Chevy II because my family had both those cars. So, are they cool or weak.??

Your car looks very nice, but in my opinion with your car looking stock. I would stick with the small 67 Camaro center caps and Beauty rings. I like that color of the car but the black Ralleys need to be painted silver with the caps and rings. That would look sweet.

That's kinda ironic 'cause to take that photo I propped that wheel up against my 15x7 rallies with short caps and 235 BFG! :D

So that's one 'NO' vote. :noway:

Thanks- I've added a front spoiler now also. The paint was done in '85. The front fenders are new. I'm reluctant to paint them until I do the whole body cause they probably won't match and I my 4 year old likes to bonk things into the car by accident. So when I do it, I'll do it complete.

OK- So that's two 'No' votes. But I still need somebody to tell me decisively what these caps came from.

And, you just gave me an idea! I could primer the whole car... then it would match!:noway:

Beautiful color, my 68 was that color (KK) tripoli turquoise originally. When i get the body done on mine im going back to that color!

I'm not that fond of the color but it would be sacrilegious to change it. I plan to add a black bumble bee stripe though. So what's your opinion on the dog dishes. yay or nay?

I'm a big fan of the dog dishes, but personally, I would find a set of '68 Camaro caps and put them on. Those don't look bad, though.
