WHEEL COVER RATING CONDITION: Grade A levels= Excellent (A), Near Excellent (A/A-), Very Good Condition (A-), Pretty Good (A--). Grade B levels (Driver Grade Level) = Pretty Good "Driver" Condition (B++), Good /OK "Driver" Condition (B+) / Average condition/fair condition (B). Poor (C, C+). All "B" & "C" Grades will have more visible damage than any "A" Grade (See other listings for those). Ratings are based on the visual appeal of the wheel cover as well as the physical condition of the metal...but not paint (if applicable).
APPLICATION YEARS: Fits all 1965-1992 Cadillacs with Rear Wheel Drive. This would be all Devilles (1965-84), Eldorado (1965-66), Fleetwood 1965-1992) and Seville (1976-1979) models. These will NOT work on any Front Wheel Drive cars.
ITEM QUANTITY: This auction is for FOUR (4) wheel covers.
WHEEL COVER SET GRADE OVERALL LEVEL: "A--" (Pretty Good Condition). Individually there are (1) "A-", (2) "A--" and (1) B++ wheel covers. Light to Moderate wear and tear over 5 decades.
ITEM DESCRIPTION: These vintage (OEM) Cadillac wheel covers need a good home on your Cadillac. They are 15" size and fit the factory 15" steel rims. This set overall is rated as "Pretty Good Condition" (not the same as Excellent or Very Good Condition) -- That means there will be some wear and tear damage on each one while most of the wheel cover is typically Very Good or Excellent.
They are relatives of the vintage "Sombrero" design, which Cadillac used for many years (wide raised center, a deep valley and then the outer rim). This is rare version that has a Crest AND a Chrome Wreath (traditionally used on Fleetwoods). Each has a very shiny, bright and cheery "brushed-finish center face", complete with a shiny set of Cadillac's famous Chrome Wreath & colored Crests. The emblems match the quality of the wheel covers - sharp and reflective. The colors on each crest were restored, so they are bold and beautiful. Imagine how these will liven up the visuals on your Cadillac's wheels! Note: Although these are rather strongly reflective, they are not "mirror polished" wheel covers -- I do have that style in my eBay store if you are interested.
The wear & tear will vary a bit with each wheel cover, so I am giving a brief description of each one (below). If it's not mentioned in the description then you can safely assume that it'll be in Very Good or Excellent Condition.
Stock # Grade Notes:
#2405E4 B++ This is a decent cover since "B++" grade wheel covers have a few smaller amounts of damage - no major dents, etc. The outer Perimeter Rim is where all of the damage is located -- It's got about a dozen hammer nicks that were polished down, as well as a small hole (from a curb scrape) at the far right edge (under 1" long). Aside from that it's in Excellent Condition. Super shine to the entire wheel cover!
#2404I4 A-- This is nice cover since "A--" grade wheel covers have a few smaller amounts of damage - no major dents, etc. This one is no exception. The outer Perimeter Rim is in Very Good condition, with only a faint hammer tap or two. The Ribs and the "valley" are Excellent. The Outer Crown Edge and Center Face are both Very Good - there is a touch of metal wobble at the bottom of the Face (under the crest) - otherwise the rest is Excellent. Super shine to the entire wheel cover!
#2407A2 A- This is nice cover since "A-" grade wheel covers have very minimal amounts of small damage. This one is no exception. The outer rim is Very Good, with a touch of scuffing on the RH upper edge and a small spot at the far bottom. The Ribs and the "valley" are Excellent....same for the crown edge - nice mirror shine. The Center Face is Very Good but does have a light set of semi-circle scratches and faint metal wobble at the far lower right edge where it meets the Crown Edge. Super shine!
#2405E2 A-- This is nice cover since "A--" grade wheel covers have a few smaller amounts of damage - no major dents, etc. This one is no exception. The outer Perimeter Rim is in Good Condition, and this is also where all of the wheel cover's damage is at. There are about 8 hammer nicks that have been polished down. Additionally there are few light scuffs at the far bottom and far left (also polished down). Aside from that the rest of the wheel cover is in Excellent Condition. Super shine to the entire wheel cover!
PHOTO CONDITIONS: Various indoor and outdoor locations (on a mostly sunny winter afternoon). Caddypartz pictures are among the best on eBay! Taken very close up, from multiple angles, and in colorful high resolution.
Each of the wheel covers was test mounted on a RWD Cadillac 15" rim and fit decently. All of my wheel covers have been professionally cleaned to remove tar, oils, road grime, brake dust, etc..... Dirty and stinky wheel covers will NOT be coming your way! Mounting tabs are also neutral adjusted as well. Items will be shipped via Insured US Priority Mail.
Keep your expectations realistic, this is a set of 50+ year old wheel covers with some common use characteristics.
NOTE: These are old-school wheel covers! You may have to bend some of the retaining tabs to get it to fit perfect on your steel wheels....especially if you have balancing weights. Use a rubber mallet to install them and thus avoiding hammer dents.
