It seems that ther's the same "oddity" on '57 Imperial wheelcovers !: 
the '57 Imperial have three different wheelcovers: the "low price" IM1-1 
wheelcover which is a one piece hubcap with built-in dome center and 3 
die-cast chrome plated "wings". These wings are bolted to the dome.
The "Crown" wheelcover which has a removable (die-cast) dome center 
with built-in "wings" and the LeBaron wheelcovers, similar to the Crown 
about center dome. On these 2 hubcaps, the dome is bolted on the 
wheelcover. You'll see pics of IM1-1 and Crown wheelcovers at
