Title: Wheel covers - aftermarket and Nasco Post by: customFC on July 12, 2003, 12:40:42 PM I am posting this pic for Zulu - Gary, who is after some wheel covers. He would like to hear from anyone who has one up to a full set of any of these wheel covers. He would also like any others that may be available, as long as they are from the same period. Any leads appreciated. The one on the left has a FB nasco center in it and appears to be factory done. The center one I believe is aftermarket. The one on the right is the original Nasco Fiesta cover. Any details or info on the manufacture/history of these caps also appreciated.
Regards Alex Title: Re: Wheel covers - aftermarket and Nasco Post by: fc_ute on July 14, 2003, 08:22:11 AM the one on the left has had the "H" added after as underneath it are crossed flags. i have a full det of these ones on my taxi.

Title: Re: Wheel covers - aftermarket and Nasco Post by: customFC on July 14, 2003, 11:04:31 AM Hey fc ute....thanks for the info. Those flags must be painted on, as you can not see them from the rear. Got a pic of your caps? The center cap has a lion, a bit like a Peugot, but different.....might be Vauxhal, but I believe aftermarket. Anyone got an advert or aftermarket parts catalogue showing these?
Gary is still chasing any of these. HELP!!! Regards Alex Title: Re: Wheel covers - aftermarket and Nasco Post by: HARKO on July 14, 2003, 12:50:44 PM On the right would be FB/EK ,They carry the same stars as a special. ;)

I will send you through a scan of an advert in a 60's magazine for the one that has the flags on it. They were on a little plaque in the centre. I reckon the "H" was added at a later date. The centre one is definately an "Aftermarket" cap. The 3rd is the "Fiesta". Will try & send it to you tonight.

as soon as i get a chance i hope to post some pics of the ute and the taxi and also a lot of unusual accesories i have. i also have a set of "mag wheel caps" which are chromed steel 5 spoke mag centres that clip into a standard steel rim"13"" Title: Re: Wheel covers - aftermarket and Nasco Post by: zulu on July 15, 2003, 11:12:23 PM Hi all, Under the H medallion it is smooth, as if the H was meant to be there, although it could have carried a different badge or medallion in it's place.
All 3 wheel covers in the picture appear to have been made by the same manufacturer when viewed from the inside, and I have seen at least 2 others. Gary Title: Re: Wheel covers - aftermarket and Nasco Post by: 4hammers on July 16, 2003, 01:38:32 AM Hi all.
Yes, there are quite a few other types of wheelcovers. Remember, they didn't really have much to choose from in the mag wheel department. Hubcaps were the go. That "H" will have a Holden part number under it. These caps (Crossed flag) were at no stage produced by Holden. Alex may post the advert I send him & you can see from that. My brother in law drives a XP Falcon & that has been lowered & has a set of the crossed flag caps on it. I will try & get a photo of that too. It is a very old hot up.
