The Renault is not shown because it went straight on the parts pile, but it is from this group of finds.
To the right of the '69 Chrysler is an uncommon Isuzu Hombre, which was a rebranded Chevy S-10 pickup in the late '90s. That cap has metal clips that rust away. This one has at least a few solid clips, but some of the plastic clip holders are broken, so I may end up scrapping it and moving the clips to a better one.
Below the '69 is a newer Chrysler from around 1990. I always liked that style, and it looks like it will clean up pretty nice. That type has a stainless clip band that doesn't rot away like some other caps from that era.
The flat trim ring is a 13" for a 1980s Escort or Tempo/Topaz styled wheel. The ribbed center cap on the far right is a heavy cast metal one for aluminum wheels on a 1970s Lincoln. It has some corrosion but it might clean up ok, and I've never had one before.
The 6-point Toyota Tundra center cap has all good clips and ring. That's a style that's usually broken, so I was happy to see that. But the most valuable items for resale here are the two 10-lug Ram rear caps. I found those on the same road a short distance apart, and both have perfect clips, which never happens on those. I think someone was working on the truck and didn't put them on right, because they both have greasy fingerprints on them
