Default 68 Sprint Wheel Covers

I'm restoring a 68 Mustang Sprint A with the 6 cylinder and it had full wheel covers. I;m not sure what the style of it was. I see there is spoke ones with red caps, or more solid ones with red caps. I cant fid any pictures of what the 6 cylinder sprint was equiped with. I have a 66 and that was easy with the wire spoke wheels and spinners. Can anyone help???

The flat center ones were the standard wheel covers (not including the dog-dish) The red centers were the deluxe wheel covers, basically the same cover with a 7" plastic thingy screwed on.

The one in the picture is from a 65 or 66. Did the sprint have the deluxe with red center caps on the 68 sprint A. I know the 8 cylinder had styled wheels.

That 65-66 wire wheel cover was the same as the 67-69, but the 67-69 had a wingless center with red emblem. Both the 65-66 and 67-69 are available new, if your old ones are corroded or have been "curbed".

Ya don't have to buy the whole freakin' wheel cover, you can get just the center.
