[phils_crew]

 
  hey,           

    just spent 4 hours reading these orginality discussions wondering about the dog dish type hub

 caps i have on my  67rs.i kind of hoped they were a orginal to the car ,but when i seen fronts

were 14" and rears were 15" i knew better.found them on year one..cop or police was the

description .they reminded me of the baby moons on chrome reverse rims back in the day..only

with chevy bowties and the thin inset painted rings around the edges.i guess i`d use the derbys

i loved to see on ...nope not available until 68  ...might as well put it on blocks and plant flowers.

ok  ..just kidding..were these style caps a rpo?..dealer add on?..gee orginally is tuff....phil

  here it goes  sorry if     mess it up.. year one i think it was had dog dish as something different

i found the one looked like these as police type or cop i forget..

Hard to tell from the picture, but they appear to be old 30's or 40's style! Or maybe even aftermarket like THIS ONE.

I can see some kind of emblem in the center but can't make it out. That might give us a better idea of what they are. Is it the Chevrolet Bow Tie? Can you get a better picture?

Yeah, from the picture, those are definitely the "police caps" made for the rally wheels.  As shown here:

They were not available as a RPO for 67-69 that I know of.  Not sure when they became available from GM, others may know.

You got me on that one. They wren't used on Rally wheels, that's for sure.

Weren't used in 67 - 68 that's for sure, too.  Why not go ahead and use the 67 rally wheel cap?

 hey ,
   
   yep, they are the police caps..lol. baby moons w/bowtie on center..real chrome plated steel

are the rims rally wheels?what do 67 caps for rallys look like or item decription so i might start trying

to find some?if rims are good i just need caps..i have beauty rings..why the 14/15 combination do ya

think?maybe find someone wants to trade or part with orginal type.which would be correct?14?any

help would be appreciated.got more time than money 

[bertfam]

Yes, going by the picture, your rims are rally. The correct cap for 1967 rally's is THIS ONE ("Chevrolet Motor Division - Disc Brakes").

The cap in your picture is from a late model police and taxi car. Streetrod guys use them.

[lakeholme]

why the 14/15 combination do ya
think?  .which would be correct?14?

14/15 was a popular stance even in 67, but not factory. Yes, 14, except for Z's.
