66 wheelcover part #

[Danny L.]

Where is the part number located on the 66 wheel covers? Can it be seen with the spinner attached? I see the numbers on the back side of the spinner, but I understand there is another number for the cover itself. Also, in addition to the spinner part number there is a faint number which looks like ***Y or Y55A, what is this?
Thanks.

I don't think that the part number for the complete wheel cover assembly was ever embossed or otherwise inscribed on the wheel cover. Any numbers on the spinner are likely just a part number for a component of the ornament (spinner).

Anyway, the part number for the original wheel cover ASSEMBLY was GM #3888813.

The GM #3888813 was discontinued in October, 1974 and replaced by GM #3964518. The latter is the non-spinner, "safety" version of the 66 Corvette wheel cover assembly.

I don't know what the other codes you mentioned are. Very likely, they are some sort of manufacturing code used by the manufacturer of the wheel cover and it's components.

Thanks Joe. It appears that I have an original set complete with spinners.
