OLD CAP?????
damm, *I* am old then
thats a 15 inch wheelcover, from a 1975-1978 Ford LTD
I had a set like that on my 77 LTD Landau
now I know what my dad meant when he saw a car from the 1930's or 1940's,
and said " I remember when they were new"
I do the same thing on cars from the 1960's and 1970's
