1973 Super Duty 455 Formula Firebird... they didn't really sell these with poverty cap dog dish hubcaps... did they? It looks ridiculous on a Firebird

  1. I disagree, those wheels look like all business, no bullshit.

  2. No, not baby moons. Pontiac style dog dish caps maybe, if you ordered it that way, or it was some kind of Copo where the wheels would be changed the day it was delivered anyway.

    1. I like dog dish hub caps on mopars, but on this sports car, they don't look right. On muscle cars they do... just my perspective. And I've never seen a Firebird with poverty caps

  6. I once observed a blue '73 SD Formula with these hubcaps. A peek at the 1973 Firebird brochure confirms these baby moons listed as "Standard" on the Formula--even SD Formulas. SD Trans Ams received Rally IIs as standard items.

  7. Baby moons were "Standard" on the Formula for '73, Rally IIs for the Trans Am that year.
