Ah ha! I was waiting for someone to notice those. They are '55 Buick caps but the center "flippers" are from the Olds Fiesta style hubcap. I made an insert (out of 2 1/2" exhaust pipe) that bolts to the flippers and pushes into the cap and VOILA! At the car show nobody knew what they were except one old man; he knew the Buick cap and figured I took the flipper from the Olds cap.

They are not staying as I am on the hunt for original type poverty caps.
