Question
Hi Roger

I don't have a repair question, but do have an identification question!  Since you have extensive knowledge of classic Chevys, I thought you might be able to help.  My dad died 6 years ago and had some old automotive stuff stored in our basement.  My mom is getting on in years and is moving.  My brother and I uncovered some old Chevy SS hubcaps, and are trying to find out which make and model they were originally fitted to, and years and so forth.  My brother says my dad used to have these caps on a 65 Impala fastback (non SS) as far as he can remember.  Any help you can provide would solve a mystery.  I have provided links to a few pictures I took of the caps so you can have a look:

Answer
 Hea;
      Mason, Yea those are when cars were cars, as far as speed and a lot of power was the thing, I think that they are from a 1964-66 CHEVY Impala SS , as there were so many differnt types of hub caps back then all 4 of them might be worth a few bucks to someone or even replacments for someone that has a car like that. don't toss them. save them.
good luck
