It’s not a thing made out of tin named Lizzie like the Tin Man in Wizard of Oz.
A Tin Lizzie is considered to be an old motorcar, most-commonly a Ford Model T with OEM Ford Hubcaps on it. Most people say that the name comes from the most common American name for a horse way back in the early 1900s.
Even though it was used as a slang reference for the Model T and the Ford Wheel Covers that go on it, the term “Tin Lizzie” had made its way to being the main name for describing a cheap old car. Back in the early racing days, the name “Tin Lizzie” was a common nickname that used for those “rough-looking” cars. If you need OE Hubcaps for that rough looking car, all you have to do is call us at 800) 826 5880 & we’ll ship them to you!
