I think you have as many Jeep hubcaps as what Elliott has in parts rigs. That really is a beautiful collection. Some I'd never seen before. Thank you for sharing with us.

Thank you for sharing. It a good day when you learn something.

You need some of the thinner center hub covers that went to the aluminum mags. I have a couple of the different models of those. Oddly enough I just threw your address away last week when I cleaned off my bulletin board.
No pic to show or copy but they look like the ones below except they bolted on from the front and were much lighter in weight.

If you want shinier center caps of the heavier type like you have in Chrome , black let me know. I have NOS to good driver to pitted. Let me know if interested. The center hubs I'm referring to are this type(shown below).
I'm leaving for a week but if caught soon enough I might be able to get these together before I leave. Or catch me when I get back.

The larger of the Willys station wagon hubcaps is a reproduction.
Through the years, there have been many attempts at reproducing them, but not one has even come close to the original.
The original hubcap, introduced on the 1948 Jeepster and Station Sedan, was a 2-piece hubcap. The one pictured is a 1-piece, similar to the later Jeep hubcaps.
The originals are very hard to find, therefore the reproduction that is pictured is accepted as THE hubcap when doing restorations.
I have several originals, as well as some other unusual ones used by Willys during the '50's on the Aero car.

I had absolutely no idea there were that many differentiations over the years....thanks!

Dennis,
Why didn't we take a picture when I had all those hub caps off the shelf and had them spread all over the floor? Hmmm? Here's a teaser...
