These are Plymouth but will work if you drill and install Darrin Medallions!!

The emblem on these wheel covers are for the company that made them.  Lyon wheel covers were popular in the 1950's and they made several styles.  While these are not original for any make they are an attractive wheel cover if you want the wire wheel look.

Buyer beware...the Darrin used a basket (the black mount pictured) height that differs from most others using the same wire cap. Nash and Plymouth baskets are too tall and when mounted, the cap does not sit flush with the rim. It's not a difficult job to have them trimmed but know that what's for sale here is more than likely not a direct fit - the emblem not withstanding.

K-F Wire Spoke Wheel Covers part #100327 were announced on June 30, 1953 and are illustrated in Parts and Accessory Bulletin 25B.  They retailed for $36.50 for a set of four.  They had a simulated knock-off type center cap with no emblem.  You can see the illustration in circlekf website and they were the last K-F accessory to be listed in the Parts and Accessories Bulletins.  Some factory photos show the Darrin with wheel covers with knock-off type center caps and some show a different style wire wheel cover with an emblem.  Wire wheel hubcaps were an authorized extra cost accessory on the Darrin's along with a heater.
