Hi all, after your knowledge again!!

I have just noticed the 4 hubcaps on my '59 sedan deville have 1 odd center cap.
I have purchased another complete set of 4 and they have the same mix of 2 different types.
both styles are white, with 1 being a little more ornate than the other

can throw up a comparison pic in the morning if need be, but figure you guys know these ald babies inside out :)
perhaps the more ornate is eldorado? or the less ornate the base model..and I have ended up with a mix

thanks for your help as always :)

This is an Eldo cap with a correct center if that help.

Thanks Brian, definately not an eldo center then :)
here is a pic showing 3 of 1 kind and 1 of the other.
the 4 remaining on the car have the same mix??
I only really care about the front wheels, as the rears arent really seen, just want to know which one is for a sedan deville?

Post a pic of the whole cap.

Those centers are not for a regular 59 cap.

Not sure you have the correct caps at all.

I defer to the 59 guys here.

I am not as familiar as I am with the Eldo/Fleetwood caps.

Here is a link to McVey's repro stuff:
