The early article is 21A156.

Changed to 21A462 at about chassis 61500.

Hello and thank you.

Do you know if there are differences between cap A156 and A462 ?

Best regards

I can't find any difference, but I also can't find the number anywhere on the covers. I'd say they are identical but maybe some absolute '59 wheel cover expert could tell.

They are both smaller than the later covers with the rounded holes and are hard to pry off the wheels without damaging the outer edge of the cover.

Easy way to remove the square hole or even oval holed hub caps without damage.

Carry a short length of 1/2" diameter rope or even a length of rag. Thread through two holes and pull hard!! No problem.
