Horn Caps
Short answer: A black cap with a red Aztec-style Firebird in the center sounds exactly like the 1968 Deluxe 3-spoke wheel’s center cover (not actually a “horn cap” — it covers the wheel nut, while each spoke has a thin rectangular horn button in satin-finish metal). These crack persistently around the hub, even NOS ones.
For comparison: the 1968 wood wheel used a different (pot-metal) cap with a green lucite center and Pontiac arrowhead; the 1969 wood/custom wheel used a black lucite “PMD” disc like the Rally II caps. (Trivia from the parts book: 29 different Firebird wheels were listed across 1967–69, not counting the 3 wood wheels; 1967 even had two sizes — 16″ and 16-1/2″.)
