[lmassa]

Does anybody have a picture? My Ambassador came with Chevy hubcaps and I would like to find 4 original ones...
Thanks

Should you manage to find 4 original 1968 hub caps, you may not want to use them.

You can sell them for a small fortune, since they have been history for over 40 years.

Really don't think you will have luck finding "origional" hubcaps, but JC Whitney has some pretty good reproduction babymoons. I have a set for my 64 Bambi II.

Airstream restorers don't tend to be quite as precise about such things as wheel covers as vintage auto enthusiasts, but the following are some of the possibilities:

The wheel cover below is the one that would have been utilized on Airstreams a few years newer than yours (1970s):



The wheel cover below was more typical for the 1966 through 1968 Airstreams:



Another choice for just about any Airstream through the 1970s would be baby moons with beauty rings:



While I don't believe that they were ever officially offered by Airstream, the following wheel cover is often seen on Vintage Airstreams:

Good luck with your investigation!

Thanks everybody for your extensive feedback. I think that I will stick to the baby moon caps as they seem to be widely available.
Thanks again
