@georgeschire George, the green car has real wire wheels not hubcaps. Have both, love both.

Thanks Bob, yes I realize that.  The term "hubcaps" was merely used for the purpose of the differences that Tony and I were discussing.  I appreciate your clarification though.  

@georgeschire George, I am somewhat sensitive when it comes to people referring to wire wheels as hubcaps. I assumed you knew the difference  but you would be surprised how many don't. Both my 55 Imperial and 63 Thunderbird Sports Roadster have the Kelsey Hayes wire wheels. It takes a long time to clean these wheels so I try to avoid anything that might necessitate that chore.

I totally understand why you're sensitive to the hubcap reference.  Again, know that I do know the difference.
