Description: ~~ GET THE REAL DEAL RIGHT HERE! ORIGINAL 1970'S (AMERICAN MADE) FACTORY CADILLAC PARTS~~ WHEEL COVER RATING CONDITION: Grade A levels= Pretty Good (A--), Very Good Condition (A-) / Near Excellent (A/A-), Excellent (A). Grade B levels= "Driver grade" -- good/presentable shape (B+, B++), average condition/fair condition (B). The "B" Grades level wheel covers will have more extensive & visible damage. ORIGINAL YEAR OF USE: Fits all 1971-79 Cadillac 15" RWD rims. COLOR NOTES: Cadillac used Demitasse (Dark) Brown paint for several model years. It's a great warm color that looks like a Hershey bar with metallic flakes in it. This optional "body matching" wheel cover style was available for the Fleetwood line, but some customers bought them for their Deville series too. ITEM QUANTITY: This auction is for ONE (1) wheel cover in Grade "A" condition. I have a total of 4 listed, each in separate listings. WHEEL COVER GRADE LEVEL: "A" (Excellent) ITEM DESCRIPTION: This wheel cover is Time Machine material (I have 4 of these listed, in separate listings). These were bought from a Cadillac dealership in 1979 (see receipt) by Allstate Insurance Corporation, as a claim replacement for a customer that had his stolen. The owner received them, but had already gotten a different set in the interim time, so these sat on a shelf for 40+ years. According to the son of the former owner, these boxed brown ones were pulled out on occasion (car shows, ralleys, etc.) and put on the car, but were not used daily. So there is almost no road usage on them and it shows. They are "Almost NOS" in quality. This one is Stock #2308H2. It looks excellent in every way, as if you jumped back in time to purchase it. I've graded it at "A" level condition - you can't get better for a used wheel cover. There are no dents, no dings, no curb rash, no stains, etc. It has a very bright shine to the stainless as you can see (this usually dulls and grays over time). The "Sabre Wheel" design hearkens back to the late 1950's, when Cadillac offered the famed chrome Sabre Wheels on the 1955-58 Eldorado & Fleetwood. The Dark Demitasse Brown wheel center has no nicks or chips in the paint. The decal is adhered strongly, no warping or peeling at the outer edges. Great factory shine to the clear coating! There is no fade in the Brown coloring. The chrome on the wreath is very shiny and free of pitting. Overall it's a stunner and in Show Grade ready condition. Wheel cover was test mounted on a RWD Cadillac 15" rim and fit decently. It's been professionally cleaned to remove tar, oils, road grime, brake dust, etc..... Dirty and stinky wheel covers will NOT be coming your way! Mounting tabs are also neutral adjusted as well (you may have to further adjust them). Keep your expectations realistic, this is a 47 year old wheel cover with almost no use (wear & tear) characteristics. NOTE: This is an old-school wheel cover! You may have to bend some of the retaining tabs to get it to fit perfect on your steel wheel....especially if you have balancing weights. Use a rubber mallet to install it and thus avoiding hammer dents. Caddypartz~~ The #1 eBay source for 1971-78 Cadillac parts~! 1976-78 Fleetwood Demitasse Brown (1) Grade "A" PP#2308H2
