"Doris Day!" Now, there's one I haven't heard in a very long while. Dare I
say, "those were the days"?

Subject: IML: '67 hubcaps for sale, but I need '66 hubcaps
> Hey everyone,
>
> As you may know, I have been in need of hubcaps for Doris Day, my '66
> Crown Convertible. A listmemeber was kind enough to search through some
> parts they had and mailed me four. Three of which were '67-'69 version.
> The fourth was indeed a '66, but was in poor shape. Nonetheless, it is
> on the car, and holding! The outer rim is bent outward all the way
> around though, and just looks weird if you look at it. Anyway, I
> forwarded a picture of a '66 cap, and in all kindness the individual did
> send me 4 more caps, but again they all for were '67-'69 caps. I have
> resent the picture and asked them to please recheck their supply for a
> '66, and send me a picture first before mailing, but that may take
> awhile.

> I had another cap fly off two weeks ago after I had to pull off the
> freeway to put the top up due to rain. As I was pulling back onto the
> freeway at WOT, and merged into the freeway, I of course had to go over

> flattened by a semi. I did not even try to stop, to dangerous.

> Anyway, 1.) Does anybody need '67-'69 hubcaps (painted flat black in the
> center) they are each in decent shape, but could use a cleaning. I ran
> the one '66 through the dishwasher (yes, as a matter of fact I am
> single, why do you ask?) and some of the paint in the center came off,
> but boy was it clean!! I have seven (7), and would be willing to sell
> them for a very decent price + postage if someone needs them. And, 2.)
> Does anyone have at least one (1) '66 hubcap for sale, decent to better
> shape they could send me right away? Please see the attached picture if
> you are in doubt of what they look like. The main difference is the '66
> has the valve stem hole positioned in the inner portion of the cap, off
> the outer rim. It is in the actual "Turbine", or spined portion of the
> cap. The car looks gimpy without the cap, and I have had not great luck
> with the '66 hubcaps staying on the car. I intent to weld it on this
> time. Just kidding! Really, kidding! Well, maybe not.
> As I did put out cash for the caps I don't need, I hopefully will sell
> them in able to pay for the ones I do need! I am hesitant to ask for
> some of my money back from the individual who sent me the caps, as he

> caps, even if they are the wrong ones. I may get them in the future,
> and I hope I do end up having 7 correct spares, but I really need at
> least 1 right now. Oh well, I guess I will just have to put this out
> there, and hope for the best! Thanks everyone!
