I like cars that have whitewalls with wheelcovers only. A car with knock-offs should have blackwalls or a gold, red or blue stripe.

Default Did Corvettes ever come with Hub Caps?

A hub cap covered the area from the wheel center to just beyond the lug nuts.

Corvettes came with wheel covers. Perhaps hub caps were available on C1's?

Yes, it was commonly called KO's. That was a C2 hub cap. Oh, I think you mean grease cap that covers the hub..

Not referring to KOs, nor the grease cap. Yes, I stand educated, 67s were available with a hub cap. Should have confined my comment to the OPs criteria of 65/66.

My father (ca 1939) with 1935 Plymouth (I believe) . Note the hub caps..
