Dog Dish Hub Caps / Poverty Caps
 

I picked up 5 over the weekend. Four we’re marked Ponitiac, Pontiac and one Pontiac Motor Division . I have Seen this difference before but was curious as to different year or applications?

PMD caps used through ‘70 if I remember correctly, PP caps starting in ‘71 and used from then on as replacements.

I think your wright, I have the original dog dish on my 69 and there PMD

Sounds reasonable to me. Thanks for the info.

The Pontiac Pontiac dog dishes are stainless vs PMD dog dishes are chrome plated copper/brass. The stainless ones don’t crack... I have at least 5 Nice PMD dog dish wall hangars I would be scared to drive at freeway speeds with on my car!

GTO1, That is interesting. I was aware of the cracking problem but didn't know there was a difference in materials. My swap meet finds cleaned up nicely with no cracks. I have heard the repro's have the same splitting problem.

I was told years ago that the caps with just “Pontiac”,was Canadian caps

Glad to know that about the repro’s... guess I will stick with the Pontiac Pontiac dog dishes I have on my cars.
