Who collects hubcaps?  What do you have?

Right now, I have more license plates than hubcaps…!

I have about 2 dozen; I don't really collect 'em, they just found me over the years. '56 Cadillac, '57 Pontiac DeLuxe, '58 Pontiac DeLuxe, set of '58 Cadillac, '59 Eldorado, misc '60s Olds, Merc, Pontiac,1 early '50s Pontiac, set of '60 Buick DeLuxe, set of '67 Pontiac spinners, stack of early '60s Studebaker…. hmmm, I might have more than I thought.

I have two 1955/1956 GMC half ton hubcaps. One is in original shape I picked up cheap. One day I'd like to get it sandblasted so I could repaint it. The other is a perfect chrome half ton cap that I wanted to display but it's still wrapped up and in storage in my basement. I'm always looking at hubcaps for various makes at car shows ;-)

Rog- I have a sandblast cabinet if you're in the area during your travels.

I will file that in the back of my head! Thanks ;-)

Balth,

More than you thought ... is a good thing.  LOL  Sounds like quite the collection.  Do you have yours displayed at all?

 

 

Roger,

I've done the same thing ... look for hubcaps at swap meets, stores, etc.  Just never bought any for a "collection" per se ... hind site 20/20, of course.
