Not the correct ones. But what you asking for them might have someone looking for them.

John: Be careful when you buy your caps. The 47 cap fits only a 47 wheel. In 48 Cadillac went to a 820x15 tire which required a different size wheel which then required  a change in the depth of the retainer ring on the cap. Please read the PDF attachment. The true 47 cap has one drain hole where the 48-52 cap has 2 drain holes. Either side by side or 180 degrees apart. The true 48-52 cap will fit a 47 wheel but will stick out from the rim about 3/16 of an inch. Do not use a 47 cap on the larger rim as the first pot hole you hit, off comes the cap.  The true 47 cap is had to find.  Bill

...in addition the '46 caps are different. They are the same as '41s & '42s.

I bought one from All Cads years ago (for a 47).  Are they the correct ones?
