    couldn't id the cap I have there. I found an old silver hubcap in a relative's garage that has a roughly 2" outer rim of punched out and
    solid cross- hatching, with some black on the solid parts of the
    hatching, and a black inner medallion with the Silver Laurel Wreath (Cadillac?) and 3 long, outstretched, sleek kind of Silver Cats
    (Jaguar? Puma? Lion?) stacked one on top of the other. The cats paws
    are outstretched in front of them, and their tails loop back over
    their backs. Very strange looking.

    Does anyone know which make of car, and model this old cap is from?
    Thanks for any info.

    I'm sure that your description in accurate, but a picture would
    be ten
    tmes better.
    Do you have a friend who could post one.
    (I do research in an automotive library when needed.)
