Post by: custom on October 20, 2014, 12:24:22 PM

What years and models do these Willys' hubcaps fit?

That is just like the set that my mechanic threw away that belonged on my '54 Aero.  Are those available for sale?

Those pictured are the optional full wheel covers for the 1954's, I believe part # 811451. They were usually seen in red like pictured, but I have also seen them in green and blue. There is no notation in the parts manual of a different part number for each color.

The hubcaps pictured on the car are 1952 standard Willys Aero hubcaps, part number 803117. They had nothing to do with Kaiser - Kaiser bought Willys-Overland in 1953.

The different colors did not appear until 1959 when Willys used them on the Surrey's and they were pink, blue, or green depending on the color of the striped seats and tops on the Surrey models.

Thank you, Gordie. I always wondered why I could only find one part number for three different color wheel discs. Now I know that anything other than red is not authentic on an Aero.
