Help With Identifying Symbol on Magstar Cap

[J_Speegle]

What would the far right emblem come on? Just a non-Sears aftermarket retailer?

Over the counter wheels or in packages with just the center caps. Think that KELSEY design was after the red/white and blue but would have to look up the advertising and compare dates

Tire stores as well as mechanic shops sold the wheels for all kinds of cars and lug patterns. Ran a set of 14" Chevy wheels (had them machined for unilugs) for a late 67 GT350 I drove to SAAC 13. They had the tri color caps

^^^ Yes, as Jeff already stated.  Also the version I posted was on a different Kelsey Hayes wheel design, but it was also a steel rim riveted to a cast aluminum center.

Wow, you guys are good.  Amazing you figured out that was Sears And Roebuck.  I swear half of you should be detectives.

Detectives no, aliens yes. Personally I am from one of the moons of Jupiter along with Elvis and Mrs. Adelson.

That is a cool trademark. The person that came up with that one deserves a pat on the back.

  Back in the 1960's Sears had a LOT of pull.  So, no surprise that the Magstars bought though a Sears Automotive Center would have a Sears emblem.  By the way, those wheels would have also had black centers.
  If you bought parts from them back then (you would have if your Dad had a car from the "big three") you also got to drool over the 289 Display engine that had the "Cobra" manifold, valve covers and T pan.

Don't forget the ported heads with the round exhausts?

If you rotate it 90 degrees CW its appears to be the stylized initials SR if that is a clue

Did Sears & Roebuck have auto centers that sold KH wheels aftermarket?

   YES!!!! That is the cap that was on their wheels! Good eye. Very obscure wheel cap for sure.  Penny's had a FOREMOST cap that they used on their 5 spoke  "American copy" wheels "made in Japan" ( not China) by Appliance Plating. Oh the things you know when you're old.

    "Super Port Flow" or perhaps better known as "FIREBALL HEADS" from Crane Cams Co.

The creativity on that logo is awesome. I looked at it for 10 minutes before seeing the "s" and the "r"

Its on par with the Coralsnake emblem, lol

You are way more observant than me Pete.  I didn't see the letters at all.

[papa scoops]

[Coralsnake]

Can you see it now?

[67_1183]

Of course.  Shelby AmeRican

I saw it immediately, but I do graphic design and old enough to recognize that version of a Sears logo.
