Both are apparently Chevrolet rather than Aftermarket. They are about 30" in diameter with a center opening 6" in diameter and have two stainless trim rings: One that goes around the outside edge (about 30" diam) and one that attaches at the widest part of the tire sidewall (about 24"diam). Here are a few photos; can anyone tell me exactly what they are and a guess as to their value? All the Best, Chip http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah155/chipndayle/IMG_1084_zpswiye6s0q.jpg "It's wise to choose a SIX"

There are three for each cover. How about the back halfs of each cover? Do you have those? Without either of those parts and in the condition I can see in the pictures Id say well under $100 each?

Thanks for the info..... and if anybody's interested, make an offer via PM. They definitely won't fit my '29-'32 cars. All the Best, Chip "It's wise to choose a SIX"

No Bowtie and an oblong slot for checking the air in your spare. An "L" shaped extension is required for taking advantage of this feature. I have never had one or seen this extension. I have at least one extra cover for '35 Standard if none of yours are correct. Mike ml.russell1936@gmail.com Many miles of happy motoring

It is closed, has the stainless outer ring on the edge, and the stainless inner ring and the porcelain bow tie. The other one I have has the large center opening that exposes the spokes of the wheel with the stainless ring around the opening. 3 arms on the back half that attach to the spare tire mount.
