Tom - to your point, I always scratch my head at all the restored cars running dog dish caps. While I do like the look, I suspect that almost every original owner that didn't opt for rally wheels or some optional wheel cover had plans to ditch those caps the minute the car left the dealership. They probably already had the aftermarket wheels purchased before they signed the papers on the car. At the very least, they probably dumped the caps and ran bare wheels to emulate the NHRA stockers. I'll bet very few musclecars were actually driving around with dog dishes back in the day.

I like the Dog dish sleeper look, but it's probably more popular now than it ever was in the 60s.
