This car is still very common in the UK. |

In Spain this car is likely to be always without hubcaps, it seems it is very likely for themt o fall off, does that happen in other ciuntries too  ? |

Well sometimes in England young kids like to steal hubcups. |

I dont mean it that way, it seems that this geenration Escort is pron to lose them. |

I've also seen a lot of them without hubcaps here. Some versions were probably marketed without them and because the wheels in these cars were black this is so visible. |

Another possible reason is that the owner has simply discarded them. Full-width plastic wheel trims are sometimes a damn nuisance when you check tyre pressures or change a wheel; and some of the trims Ford produced were pretty ugly. |

I dont think they produced without them and i dont think people removed them because they were normal hubcaps, they are not an impediment to measure the presure either that i know, and although it would, you only do so very often. |

Wheels look even worse without plastic hubcaps to cover up the dull metal rims. |

There's no accounting for tastes; I'm not sure I can agree with that. Most of them seem to fake alloys; at least metal rims are honest. In 1987, early in the career of the Mark III Transit, I was presented by my then employer with a 35cwt (~1.75 tonne) box van with twin rear wheels ... and plastic wheel trims, which I quietly removed after the first time I tried to check the pressures ...  |

Look at this picture, this is what I meant: http://www.skidcontrol.co.uk/images/FDSS_Skid_1.jpg That's what the wheels look like underneath the plastic hupcaps of most European cars, you have to admit it looks pretty shabby, like it's missing something. Even crappy factory-stock plastic hubcaps (decent modern cars have alloys anyway) look better than that. With vans and lorries it's different because they are working vehicles, they aren't meant to look nice. -- Last edit: 2007-11-30 22:17:37 |
