For Sale 1961 Imperial Wheel Covers

[amazinblue82]

1961 Imperial wheel covers. 15 inch. I've had these forever. Got them in a car deal decades ago.

Four have no argent paint left. one does still have paint (between "fins"/in hub area in center) but with peeling.

All have assorted scrapes and dings from usage. center emblems have discoloration under the plastic. so NOT show quality at all but still nice.

no idea what they are worth. price advice appreciated. if interested, PM me with an offer. figure about $20-$40 to ship anywhere in continental US via fedex for all five in one box.

don't wanna separate except to sell set of four, or one (with paint) as a single. they go on ebay next week (September 10) if not sold her first.

OF course, you can write me here at anytime while the auction is running to discuss them

thanks.

I believe those are the best wheel covers used on an Imperial of that era. I wished my 1960 Crown coupe had them on originally, and I might still put them on except that I am such a damn purist! Will needs a 1961 convertible, even though the two door hard tops look great too!

Nice car.

I was gonna use them on something else (a 70's Dodge C body, and disguise the centers) because they looked SO cool (they really have a deep look to them -- unusual I thought for the era -- until I found out about 10 years ago what they were really for.

Yes, purists would likely require the argent and year correctness .. but there's nothing wrong with that . Thanks.

If I had a Formal and no Road Wheels, those would be my first choice.

that was my thought exactly .. all set to go on my '76 Monaco Coupe until an "old timer" (my age now) told me what they were

As I looked through the page, I have a set of 1965's around too .. dunno where I got them though. Intact, but somebody did some ham-handed refinishing (pitting in the center). If i find them, i will put in another thread.
