Looking for something like this ! I do believe they are to be painted to match the car.

dumb question are they 14's or 15's

They are 14's. You can buy repros for around $400. NOS dogs, like everything else are not cheap. Saw a NOS set of 67's sell on eBay just last week for around $580. But if you watch eBay you can usually find a very nice set of originals for a much better price. :yes:

Silly question maybe but... Unlike the full size wheel covers, will the dog dish fit on any size of steel rim regardless of it being a 14" or a 17"? (Attached is a shot of a dog dish for the Beaumont. Very similar other than the badging.)

Yes, the dogs will fit on 15" rims. As a matter of fact, Mike Crown's 66 SS as shown here has 15" steel wheels with stock dog dish caps. (Would be the same for 67, just the caps are painted a little differently.) As you can see, he even shows it like that. Come to think of it, not sure why he has them on there...he never drives the poor thing! :D

Nice wagon! My '67 is the same color, same wheels. Hopefully it will get finished one of these days!

Nice hardtop tripleblack!

Here's my convertible. I am running '80s GM station wagon wheels. They're 15x7. Getting harder to find these days though.
