Never seen the movie, but perhaps I need to now. And really, that was not the vein I was going for, really! I was looking for more 60's symbols, and adding new touches to them. Like the dove in this raindrop:chitwnvw wrote:That's a depressing movie.

Well, when I ran out of hubcaps to paint, I went to EvilBay, and shame on me, I soon went to Wal-Mart and got a Starbucks espresso to drown my guilt. Well OK just the EvilBay part, and in a hubcap frenzy I went beyond ACVW's and got some old Ford ones as well. Silly to say in my weird niche painting arena, I stepped out of my norm. Any idea what these may have been on?
Or these? Wouldn't this be a Pontiac?
I have few ideas what to do with any of these.

Because these are Ford and Pontiac? I did get 2 60's big dome ACVW caps out of the deal too. Is it because of EvilBay? I really don't like them, but these were cheap cheap cheap, and not made in China either.LiveonJG wrote:You are dead to me.

The latest, I think these are 50's Pontiac hubcaps. You can see what they looked like above. These are going on the wall downstairs, I think I am getting presentable.
I think my next attempt will be an adaptation of the GE logo, like this, but without the GE in there, or ELO!:

I looked around and those are not Poncho hubcaps. At least they are not from '48-up. Pontiac arrowhead looks like this. The older ones are red.Sylvester wrote:The latest, I think these are 50's Pontiac hubcaps. You can see what they looked like above.

Holy crap I can see it now, "Part time junk painter paints over priceless Tucker Torpedo hubcaps!" Only the paint in the crests is permanent, enamel. The outside is latex. Thanks for the compliments Z, that scheme was intentional, each cap was painted with in succession with lighter colors. In person, they look deep.LiveonJG wrote:Not a clue, I searched around a bit last night, and found nothing. The arrowheads would indicate Pontiac but I couldn't find that crest.
How permanent is that paint?

I spent a good hour on the web looking for those caps. I can't find them anywhere. I'll let you know if I find something. I like a good mystery. =D>

I ran out of time, but here's what you do. Google "American Car Manufacturers 1945" or whatever year you'd like to narrow down to.
