      Your right Mike, #3 was presented with Belair caps, but probably should have been fitted with Corvette wheelcovers as I understand it was delivered quite late in the 1953 Corvette model year after testing and refurbishing.

              1953 Belair cap. You should be able to find these at Salvage yards or older hubcap sellers or on ebay...cheap. I collected 5 thinking I might need them one day..and ended up giving the 4 nice ones to a friend restoring a 53 Belair.
