Carla,
Joel is right about the hub caps.The '32 thru '34 four cylinder cars used caps that were stamped with Ford script instead of the V-8.These will fit any of the '32 thru '35 wheels.Bob Drake (800-221-3673) makes excellent quality parts.He usually runs these on sale in the spring.I paid $12 a piece instead of the normal $20 when I got mine a few years ago.The '34 have one step near the outer diameter then the script in an oval in the center.The '32/'33 have three steps graduated from the outer to the inner with the script in the center.These are stainless steel and good quality.He also has some nice beauty rings to finish these wheels off, the 16" have either smooth face or the 4 rib pattern from the '40-'46 style.
(I also bought a nice '28/'29 repro steering wheel from him and after trimming the flash off and dressing down the parting lines ended up with one nice steering wheel.)
John
