Title: Sombrero's
Post by: slocrow on April 26, 2023, 11:12:01 AM
A non-car friend of mine has a couple wheel covers that I think qualify as sombrero's, that he's considering selling.
They came off his Father's Cadillac many years ago and have been in the barn forever. Sorry, don't know the year but they are lost in the 50's I'm sure. I haven't seen them in person and the pics look like they could use some chrome polish but appear to be in real nice shape.
Any idea of their popularity these days, maybe what year and an approximate value would be appreciated, as I have no clue.
Thanks, Frank
Not sure if the pics are included as they did appear initialy but disappeared upon preview. 243KB each

I did a quick google search.  Some styles are available new.  Some particular ones are not expensive but some are very expensive.  Who knows if the expensive ones every sell?  It is going to depend on which ones he has.  You can actually buy new ones on Amazon

Thanks John, I emailed Frank with pics and asked if he could load, for ref.
I'll give Amozon a view.
