Merry Christmas Eve, Does any one have a suggestion on where to purchase (4) NOS or excellent reproduction hubcaps and beauty rings for a 1953 Ford? Thank you in advance for your help! Scotty

I would suggest you watch e-Bay, run a want ad on this site and on Fordbarn. If you are a V-8 Club member you can also run an ad in the V-8 Times. If you have the two volume set of the V-8 Club's 52-53 book you can also contact the authors of the book. Both have some NOS parts and maybe able to help. You might also try Dennis Carpenter. He may also have some NOS caps and rings.Currently there is a set of NOS caps and a couple of sets that are in excellent used condition on e-Bay. A word of caution on running want ads on this site and Fordbarn. Lately there have been a lot of "scammers" trolling both sites. If you get an e-mail from someone having the parts, get a phone # and talk with them. If they don't give a phone# stay away! If they do give a number and the seller has a little difficulty with the English language you need to investigate further. Your best bets to avoid "scammers" is the V-8 Times or e-Bay. Again check with the authors of the 52-53 book. This message was edited by trjford8 on 12-25-16 @ 9:03 AM

Don and MG, You guys are great ! Very helpful as I did see these today on ebay. They look nice and now you've confirmed that "Johnny Hubcap" is a good and legitimate guy to work with. One more question. There is a maroon center on some of these hub caps that are advertised on ebay for 1952-1954; with the FORD image written in the the center. Was that an offering in 1953 or just 1954? They are sharp looking but the EFV8CA "1952-1953 book" does not indicate these were an option??? Scotty
