The '60 and '61 center caps will fit both year wheels.  I have an 
extra set of each, and two '60 cars and two '61 Lakewoods and the 
center caps all swap between their respective wheels.

The '61 dogdish caps are different than the '60 caps in that they are 
shallower than the '60 caps so as to try to avoid curb rash.  From a 
few feet away it's difficult to tell the difference.

If you have a set of '60 dogdish caps they will fit a '61 wheel.

They are all a TIGHT fit...


Now, that said:

The subject line was '60-'62...

The '62 dished center caps are a mixed bag... I've seen a couple of 
'62 Vairs with "nibbed" wheels that wouldn't accept the earlier 
center caps.  Of course there could have been another fly in that 
ointment with wheel swapping along the line... one never knows.

As always, if I screwed up/was wrong in any of my comments, somebody 
correct me.
