1950s GM Continental Kit Spare Tire Chrome Ring & Metal Face Plate OE Vintage:
$355.18
This is an authentic vintage two-piece Continental Kit spare tire cover assembly, featuring a high-polish chrome surround ring and a solid metal faceplate. Measuring approximately 30 inches in diameter, this heavy-duty steel component is consistent with factory and period-correct aftermarket accessories found on mid-1950s GM classics like Oldsmobile, Cadillac, and Chevrolet. The chrome ring retains a brilliant, mirror-like finish with only minor age-related wear, while the faceplate shows some surface oxidation that is ideal for a "patina" build or a straightforward sand-and-paint restoration to match your vehicle's body color. All original mounting holes and structural tabs are intact, ensuring a secure fit for your rear-mounted spare. This is a rare find for collectors looking to complete an original 1950s look with genuine period steel rather than modern plastic reproductions.
