I'm looking for 15 inch wheel covers for my 57 Fairlane 500.  I'd like all 4, but will settle for 2 for now.  They don't have to be perfect, but not looking for junk.  Thanks, James  text 337-660-6809  or email j_t_johnson46@yahoo.com

Can you post a picture of what they look like?  I can't remember seeing a set of 57 Ford 15" wheels.

Yeah, as Jay eluded to, '57's were 14", so we don't really know what it is you're looking for. Has the car has been changed to 15" wheels? If so, do you know what the donor car was?
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

Didn't exist as far as I know. Use button caps or later issue. There were 15" fake wire wheel caps from the 55 and 56 wheels.

15 inch wheels were an option on police, taxi, ranchero, and Currier, all came with the small hub caps.

Ford went to 1956 full covers when ordered on 60-64 Hi-Po's w/15".

Though most buyers stuck w/the bottle caps. I knew a guy w/ a 62 406 that had the 56
fake wire caps that really looked kool.

All 60 to 64 HiPo Fords came with the 15 inch HiPo wheels including midsize cars. The wheels were welded truck wheel.

Actually  the 15" Hi-Po wheels were made by Kelsey-Hayes For big cars only.  No midsize.   5" wide for 1960 and 5.5" for 61-64.

They were not truck wheels as trucks did not have the 4.5" bolt circle until decades later.
