Four 1956 Cadillac Eldorad0 Gold Turbine/sabre Hubcaps With Gold Corona Oem Rare on 2040-parts.com
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States
|
I have two sets of these removed from cars 40 years ago and dry stored since. These are the best four caps fitted with gold coronas and a special center. If you are using on a non Eldorado I can fit the caps with a larger center and no Corona. You can bid on one or more with or without corona and center. Just specify in your bid. These are not show quality but will look ok 5' away. the dust has been cleaned off. The patina is still there. You can polish and touch up as you need to . I think the caps are anodized alumininum. The metal is soft and dents can easily be removed. Springs in back of caps are in good shape as are the tabs. I think reanodizing is easier and less costly than chrome plating but you need to determine this. I believe there are reproductions for the caps. They don't look the same as these OEM ones. New reproductions also don't match up with old wheels. Some people use metallic gold paint on them but then the coronas don't match. Photos are high resolution with and without overhead light from about 2 to 3 feet away. Caps are shiney so there are odd reflections and in some photos the gold colors look different. All four caps match. Centers and Coronas are slightly different patina and can be polished to look the same. There is no clear coat to mess with. If you are smart and lucky enough to have have a car with rare gold Sabres you can figure out what you need. I am using a reduced shipping amount that will apply to whatever you bid on, preferably the whole enchilada. I have another set after these but they are not as nice. Just clearing out stuff I no longer have cars for. I also have the stainless steel sabre hub abs and Coronas for 53 to 56 Cadillacs

Whos Where: Peter Schreyer to head Kia Design
Mon, 31 Jul 2006In what's regarded as a major boost for Korean car maker Kia, it has been confirmed that Peter Schreyer will be moving from Volkswagen AG to lead Kia's global design operation. Schreyer will oversee the design activities of the company's regional design centers in Frankfurt, Los Angeles and Tokyo as well as the Namyang Design Center in Korea. While Schreyer's move to Kia comes across as a big surprise for many within automotive design circles, his departure from Volkswagen doesn't.
