  • What type of grills are these?

    I have this pair of grills and I can't tell if they are t-craft or not. They might be stinson.

    Any help?

    Thanks,
    Erik

        Here is another view of Stinson HW75, showing the CONCAVE, inner edge of the cowl opening. Dick

          Looks like an Ercoupe spinner. Available from Univair.

              Is that a 59' or 60'??? I thought it was a 1960 Chevy.

                            Marty,

                            If no one is fabricating the hub caps and there is a need I will spin some for the group.

                              I'd like hubcaps if made with a small flat on the crown and a hole there. I'd think this would be a natural for the spinning process. Then I could bolt it onto the wheel pant mount on the axle nut with a decorative bolt that would complete the profile. There would need to be a gap at the rim as this hubcap wouldn't spin.

                              Sound feasible?
