Young Ed Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 Trying to rid my garage of this pile of extra hubcaps. Took pictures of 1 of each style. Any help identifying or if anyone can use any that'd be great. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v172/dodgepu1946/hubcaps/ Quote
JerseyHarold Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 The last Chevy cap with blue center is 1962. Quote
oldodge41 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Posted November 16, 2011 I'll take a shot at a couple. No guarantees but as I remember them: #3 = 55 Desoto #4 AND #5 = mid 60's Cadillac #6 = 72 Chevy truck #7 = late 70's Chevy truck #10 = 70's Ford Bronco #15 = 70 Plymouth. My Duster and my brothers Cuda both had these Quote
B1B Keven Posted November 16, 2011 Report Posted November 16, 2011 Number 10 is a '65 or '66 Galaxie. Quote
Furylee2 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Posted November 16, 2011 Number 16 looks like a 58 Plymouth cap. Quote
Frank Elder Posted November 16, 2011 Report Posted November 16, 2011 Dear Ed, 30 years from now when you really are an old fart.....instead of just hanging out with 'em, you'll be "crabbing" about all the stuff you gave away or sold for cheap. When that happens, and it will happen, stop for a second and remember how many people you made happy by giving them a part of history for little or nothing. It'll bring a smile to your face and confusion to the other old guys as you stop in mid-sentence and grin like an idiot about something very few can comprehend.....the joy of giving. I salute you Ed as one of the standard bearers of our society......because never have I seen you post "What's in it for me?" or a "gimmie" post, always you are paying it forward. Much respect, Frank Elder Quote
Young Ed Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Posted November 16, 2011 Frank that post puts a smile on my face for two reasons. The first is I was making room in the garage so the wife can park her new baby hauler in there without running into my junk. This is her first winter parking in the garage and currently she needs to be able to open the car door really wide. Secondly my Dad makes the comment once in a while about someday me having to sort through and get rid of all his junk! Now who wants some hubcaps?? All of these with the exception of the 4 tempest and 4 cuda ones came in the trunk of the 55 dodge! Wall art? Clocks? anyone? Quote
Niel Hoback Posted November 16, 2011 Report Posted November 16, 2011 When I had that same problem, I got 8 cents/lb at the scrap yard. Quote
JerseyHarold Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 When I had that same problem, I got 8 cents/lb at the scrap yard. Same thing happened to me. After a couple of years of looking at a big carton of caps in my garage, that no one would answer any ads for, I said enough is enough and away they went. The proceeds from the scrap yard paid for lunch that day. Quote
