I was talking with @pardion last night. I had a small pile of OE acorn caps in front of me that I pulled off the wall for the remodel. I noticed this one cap was beveled differently from all the others. Beveled like the newer caps. Huh?

Maybe that explains this. I was comparing OE hub caps with the last two rounds of reproduction hub caps. Both repos were copies of originals, but i noticed one of the repos was shorter than the others. Maybe the shorter one was copied from a shorter OE cap??

I know at least some of mine were reconditioned from Frenchy's Toyopet sedan. I never confirmed to be the same part number, assumed they were the same . I think that I passed them on to someone here.
 
That would be them, he wasn't satisfied with the rechrome.

I wonder if the profile difference was intentional or production variance?
