    my book only goes up to 1975 and i couldnt find it in there..... it is probably newer than 75 ... but then again, by book could be wrong. i have found several misprints and non-listings for parts in my the book.
    rotsa ruk!! :Brow:

    Looks like the center cap off a early 80s Riv with wire hubcats. I had one of those once and that's my guess. Does it have bolt holes in back to hold it onto the hubcap?

    That is what I thought. No info here other than it is post 75. Mike may be right that it is 80s stuff. David can tell you exactly since he has accces to the recent stuff.

    David who?????? I know it's a center cap I'm just wondering it's exact application? I thought it would fit the wire wheels we had but they are to small. As for a hub cap center it looks to small for that too. Thanks for all the help and i'll keep searching.

    #1259878=1978 Riviera ( BZ ) body, center cap for the PH8 wheels.
    PH8=wire spoke wheels 15x6. 1978 only, probably the 75th car.

    Are your rims for sale? I paid $200 for these awhile back.It wasn't what i needed but it was worth a try. + shipping.
