Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / August 2005Aero-Strut Wheel Cover AC3281
Has anyone ever seen an AC3281 Aerostrut wheel cover? My parts one show these as an option on 65-66 models, but I've never laid eyes on any. They'd be cool on my Cruiser. Mark 65 Cruiser http://home.alltel.net/anderm I used to have 4 of them. They were in decent shape except 1 had bad rus t and 1 had spotty rust . I traded them for hauling a cab to SB2002 except for one I sent to StudeBob for his collection. > Has anyone ever seen an AC3281 Aerostrut wheel cover?

Matter of fact, I never gave the AC3281's a second thought, cause I thought they came off a Buick or something. They were in the trunk of one the many Studes I bought over the years and just lay on a shelf in the garage till 2002. > Do they have some sort of a side view of an Indian head in the center? > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >>>65 Cruiser >>>http://home.alltel.net/anderm I think the ones we have (a full set) are similar to what Dodge used in the late 50's to early 60's.

Still I'd like to find a set of these in decent condition if anyone runs across any. We have a full set. But I think they have a little rust. Steel wool might make them like brand new, you never know. But I think grandad wants to keep em. > I think the ones with the head in the center came off of Dodge Lancers > of the late 50s.

This hup cap is on a 62 GT Hawk. http://community.webshots.com/photo/398232923/435894792usQYkW > We have a full set. But I think they have a little rust.

The're not quite like these. > That's the ones! > That's the ones! Well, if anybody runs across a decent set, let me know. Mark > YAY!!! We might be getting somewhere now.

I saw a fairly nice set at York a year or two back for $500, but I think they sold. > Well, if anybody runs across a decent set, let me know. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> >>>That's the ones!

They are very heavy- would fly off too easily. I sold my last set on eBay a couple years ago. I think they were first used on Oldsmobiles in the early '50s. I remember seeing them on a '54 Dodge too. The spinner part bolts to the base wheel cover and, as I remember, the center round piece is bolted to the spinner bars. Paul Johnson Yeah, it's something like that. And no, they ain't light either! > > Has anyone ever seen an AC3281 Aerostrut wheel cover?

Dodges had 4. > > Has anyone ever seen an AC3281 Aerostrut wheel cover?
