Default German Ford Hubcap? Need identification.







Can anyone identify this Hubcap that I think is Ford?

While not identical, this 1956 Taunus 15M is sporting a simpler cap but it has the same central FK logo. If you look though, the car has wide 5s so it is the centre of a full wheel cover.

There's also one on ebay US right now

Thanks Mart -- (beautiful Taunus BTW...) In high school I had a set of these same wide five wheels and had no idea what they came off. They (almost) bolted right up to my VW bug. Now I know where they came from.

All it needs is that spinner on the hood to migrate down to the grill, and the tail lights to go horizontal...
