You'd be happy with just one?

Yeah - As I recall (rather poorly), my goal was to get ONE MORE 
wheelcover to complete these set before I installed any more of them.  
You see, if you're looking at only one side of the car, two matching 
wheelcovers look better than two mis-matched wheelcovers.  In my 
experience with folks leaving tongue-prints of admiration all over 
Princess Hyacinth (metaphorically speaking), by the time that person 
works their way to the other side of the car, they're too busy grooving 
on the OTHER details to notice that the wheelcovers don't match the 
other side.

As I said, I had completely forgotten I had acquired the third 
wheelcovers' LeBaron parts. I sure wish I had found #4! As I'm sure 
many folks here know, there was a set of four LeBaron wheelcovers on 
eBay a couple of months back - the price rapidly went out of my reach, 
unfortunately.

No, these wheelcovers aren't "proper" for a '61 Crown Convertible, but 
hey - They're groovy and glorious!  They're so EXNER EXTREME.
