I have a long-time friend whom I offered to help ID some hubcaps so she can sell them. She and her husband owned an auto recycling business back in the old days. It was in Fredericksburg, VA. Some of you from the Northern Virginia area may remember it. Anyway, they sold the business and she kept these along with some other parts. They haven't been on a car in over 27 years.
Here are some photos. I haven't seen the caps in person. As you can see, one has a really bad ding. The others have scratches but look like they could be polished and reused. Any help we can get on the year and an estimated value would be much appreciated.
The top pair are 59 Chevrolet full wheel covers, the bottom 5 are 60 full size Chevrolet wheel covers.
Value wise, I'd say the good 59 could be worth $30-$40 to someone, the beat up one is worth little to nothing. If you put the best 4 60's together to make a nice set, you might get $125-$150 for them, and $30-$40 for the extra single one
There were a few junkyards down Rt 1 south of Ft. Belvoir back in the 'old days'....67-70 timeframe when my Dad worked up there... Stafford and Fredericksburg were sorta sleepy villages back then...

Yes, my friend’s auto salvage yard was on US 1. It received an award from the Commonweslth for it’s design and compatibility with the surrounding area.
My friend lived across the street from me back in grade school and high school in a neighborhood near US. 1 and walking distance from Mount Vernon High School in Alexandria. I know you’re familiar with that general area.
My friend did very well, financially, when she got divorced and the judge ordered the auto yard sold.
