Are these Nova wheel covers? Anyone know what year?
They were cheap enough. I'm trying to make my Nova a little different and I really like the idea of a sleeper. Now, how do you disguise the sound of a healthy big block?
Thank You

They look like '70 Nova wheel covers to me.

They sure are.. They were RPO/ PO1, standard full hubcap. I'm know they were used from 69-70, and maybe even 68, on the Novas. Other cars used them as well such as Impala.. I have an NOS set that I put on my Nova for a brief time last summer. They were soo UGLY they were beautiful!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

Thanks. I guess $11.51 wasn't a bad price for them then. Actually, my nova is quite similar in color to yours Rich.
It's antique white with a black interior (1972 SS ...an ongoing project which will never be done) I have other wheels for it but, think the caps are ugly (beautiful) enough to keep it under the radar at least a little bit.
Thanks again.

I have a set that I will give to a good home, plus shipping of course. Came from a low mile 70, near perfect shape.

Thanks. I received the full wheel covers and they are in decent shape except one is dinged a little. It may be able to be tapped out. I also have a set of fair baby moons with the bowtie, and a set of poverty caps so, I should have the sleeper look covered.
