Bruce,
I would generally agree with you, Forward Look wheelcovers should outfly
almost anything. That's why the cars they put them on had fins (excuse me:
"stabilizers"). But they didn't call Oldsmobiles "Rockets" for nothing. Olds
started the horsepower race in 1949 and was a serious contender until
replaced by the Mopar Hemis in 1955. Their wheelcovers were "rocket"
propelled. I think an Olds cover would be a serious contender in a
wheelcover flyoff. My 56 Olds wheelcovers even look like flying saucers.
They must have been used as a prop in at least several B grade science
fiction movies in the 50's..
