thanks dan and george, we're "narrowing it down some", which is great.
this site
http://www.prewarbuick.com/1929_to__34.htm
didn't show ANY buicks with that hubcap (but, admittedly, some of the
shots didn't show hubcaps at ALL, as if 'full front views only', and
similar). also, some of the photos were just 'too dang small to tell'
what the hubcaps were like...

in any event, it looks to me that 'most' of the prewar buicks had '2
piece hubcap systems', consisting of an outer 'beauty ring' and an inner
'baby moon' type central cap (so now I'll go find some old caddy pix....)

still looking, and thanks again, let's keep narrowing it ;-)
