Drake's 1940 Catalog

Shown here is master machinist, Lynn, polishing the core of a hubcap stamping die. Notice the heavy, tool-steel guide-pins. THE DETAIL V8 & Ford Script Accurate stamping is critical to producing beautiful hubcaps that qualify for the Ford Motor Company license. It takes tooling made by expert craftsmen to achieve this level of quality. Precision dies having the correct spacing between the male and female halves and accurate guide pins for proper alignment are essential. Without this careful attention to detail hubcaps just don't make the grade. OURS . . . The dies we use were carefully crafted to ensure the proper space between the die halves to produce perfectly stamped V8 & Ford script pieces with no wash-out, distortion or cracks. Our die's guide pins are heavy duty tool-steel for super accuracy. We make our hubcaps and beauty rings one at a time so that not even the smallest flaw gets by. THEIRS . . . Competitor's hubcaps are made without the original Ford Motor Company's attention to detail. The result is that most of the hubcaps on the market today do not the have the precise detail that ours do. Look closely for the distortion, waves and cracks in other hubcaps.
