I appologise for posting this in the wrong place, but it might help anybody restoring their old Buick get the correct caps for their car.

Yep, I was a teenager in So. Cal. in the 1950s. Was at the first race at Lions Drag Strip and most all of them after that. I’ve owned around 55 old cars, mostly hot rods. Owned 2 tire shops in the 60s and 70s, sold out and moved to Twin Falls in 1979, before it was fashionable to move to Idaho. That’s a little of my history, very little, but enough.



Last month I went to an auction in Gooding and bought a 65 year accumulation of classic and vintage wheel covers and hubcaps. This guy had been collecting hubcaps forever, almost as long as I have been on this planet and that’s a long long time. There is every make, model and year from the “40s”, “50s”, “60s” and “70s” with quite a few from the 1900s thru the “30s”. All original, no reproductions. I went nuts when I saw them and had to have them. Reminded of my tire shop days when we would sell a hundred or so sets of custom wheels a week and I had every one of these hubcaps, except mine were mostly new. I had to have them, all of them.



Well, now I do have them and they are all in one big warehouse in Filer piled in one huge pile waiting for me to sort them out. I have started and the floor of that 7500 sq. ft. warehouse is going to very small, very quick. I don’t think I’ll have them sorted until spring, if then. I’m lovin’ every minute of it.



Yes, they are for sale and I thought I’d give the Idaho car clubs the first chance at what they want or need before I advertise them nationally and maybe world wide. So, if you or anyone in your club would like to reserve one or a set or more, as I’m sorting them out I’ll set them aside when I find them. No, you wouldn’t have to pay for them until you get them.



If you have a question or want me to put some aside, please contact me and I’ll be glad to do it.



I will also make a Hubcap Clock for you from any make model or year. Excellent Chrismas gift.



Oh Ya, how many do I have ?? Approx. 32,000. Yep, 32,000 of these wonderful discs. As it says in the subject line, “An Old 1950s Hot Rodder Has Lost His Mind.” My wife really agrees with that.



If you might think I don’t have what you are looking for, you better ask because there is everything.



Thanks Much,

As I'm sure you are aware this post is 10+ years old. I hope he's still around & hope he MAY have the caps your looking for.
