NOS -63 SS wheel covers

[62bubble]

While at a cruise with my 62 bubble top. A fellow approached me and said he ha a set of SS hubcaps that he had in his attic since 1966. He bought a 63 Impala SS in 1963 and someone stole the hubcaps. He ordered a new set from the dealer but traded the car before the replacement caps came. He told me the caps were still in the GM shipping boxes and asked if I would be interested in buying the set of four. We went to his home after the cruise . I looked at tow of the caps and could not believe the pristine condition they were in. I wrote him a check and no they are in my attic

There were two wheel covers in each box. He had opened one of the boxes in 1966 when he purchased them , just to make sure they were for a 63 SS. He never opened the second box, nor did I.

A friend of mine worked at a Chevy garage in 63 and ordered a 63 ss 327 ,300 hp , 4 speed Palomar red ( may not be correct paint name) . Kept the car at least 10 to 15 years and never installed the ss caps as we're still in the bags. He sold the car and I never asked him if caps went with it. After he sold it it he did me later on the guy had it a week and wrapped it around a high line pole and it totaled. Where the caps are? Who knows might be somewhere still in bags. My friend has since passed.

Price for just the original GM shipping boxes is $ 50. bucks each. You guessed it Bob. The guy was about my age, and he was checking Ebay prior to selling them....The guy was driving a low mile 1971 Pontiac Grand Prix that he also purchased new. Was a GM person all of his life....

I know where you can pick up a 63 SS project to go with those hub caps.
