Volvo 144 hubcap

Have you tried iPD's classified section? There's still some 140s out there.

In a pinch you can use 240 hubcaps.

Have you tried Ebay? I see a lot of classic Volvo parts there, cheap.

Just posted my ad there. They take their time getting it approved, but it should appear soon.

I tried them first. Found one seller with a set of four, which I don't need and with shipping it came to more than I wanted to spend. These guys did not want to send me just one or reduce their price.

Sherwin

Understandable, that would leave them with a set of three.

Hi James,

Found some hubcaps in an ad on iPD. Wondering how risky it is to buy from someone who appears to be a private party and not a regular business. His name is murray or michael. Have you ever heard of him?

Sherwin

No, but the iPD classifieds are filled with regular people rather than businesses, that's how it works. People are generally honest, that's not to say nobody ever gets screwed, but every part of life involves some risk and for something small like a hub cap I wouldn't sweat it. It's not as if you're dropping $150K on a classic car sight unseen.

I'm not using hubcaps on my '72 145, but have one or two of them around somewhere. Would those be the same as used on your '69 144?

Gary

Thanks for the reply Gary. I may have located 4 hub caps for a reasonable price, so we will see how that goes. My guess is that the 72 145 caps won't match. Mine are plain solid chrome with a small 'V' in the center surrounded by a black painted circle.

Thanks anyways for the thought,

Sherwin

They are quite likely the same ones used on the Amazon, although I'm not certain.
