This is a PORSCHE hubcap from the 1960's (I believe) which was given to me by a friend in the late 1980's. I don't know exactly what model/year car it came from. (if YOU do, please leave a comment!) It is about 9" across and the chrome is in pretty good condition, only a little rust around the rim of its inside. (and yes, that's a kitty butt/tail reflected in the first pic, the little beggar decided to "help" me snap the pics, since I was using his floor...)
Might be a 356?

if all else fails Vic Skirmants (old friend) will know for sure

If you like racing check out the 356 site then Vintage Racing Vic #70 is just ahead of the camera car on the 1st video 4th place and driving the camera car in the 2nd, I was lucky enough and he was kind enough to let me drive a 911superC around Waterford race track in Michigan 1977 not during a race but what a blast.
I also think 356. My dad had one when i was a kid.
THANK YOU Gentlemen for your thoughts -- apparently 356 it is/was?! The friend who gave it to me was into old Porsches and had at least a couple of them. (though I'm not certain I recall any actually ever *running*?) <lol> I myself was more into early 70's Ford luxury cars...more like a 'living room on wheels' than a 2-seater roadster...? :-)
