pflaming Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 I received a call today from a hub cap business in NM. He stated that without exaggeraton he has more than 400,000 hub caps! He's looking for a set for me. I will get the details of where he is, how to contact him et.al., when he calls back. This is a very interesting hobby! Quote
Brent B3B Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 that is random. Unsolicited, called you up? Quote

Wait on him or wait on you? As a well seasoned (or un-seasoned) forum member you should add him to the links section. Quote
40plyrod Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Saw this on a driving holiday with dad last fall. This guy had the most I've seen in one place but not nearly 400,000. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Paul......what specific caps are you wanting???? Quote
pflaming Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Posted January 9, 2015 I referred him to the forum. I'm looking for a set of 10" caps with dodge on them. Any type of dodge is ok, just want four of a kind. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 he told me one time he wanted a specific set and asked me to hold them...of course it has only been a couple years since the request..am sure that this guy will do the same for him... 1 Quote

pflaming Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) No, but I wanted to extend the courtesy to have the first say. I just got off the phone with him, here's the information. Mr. Hubcap, Albuquerque, NM. His name is Fred, phone is 505 250 3195. He welcomes your calls. Mr hubcap.com will get you more information.

BobT-47P15 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Paul, This place, about 8 miles from here, has several small hub caps on his wall.......or at least he did when I took this picture 3 or 4 years ago. Seems to me there were some for Dodge, probably early 50s style. I'm pretty sure they were in "fair" shape......maybe some dings........and not real shiny as they've been outside for years. Pricewise, they would probably be reasonable. If you can't find any others, and aren't wanting show quality stuff, I could go look ..... when the weather gets a bit warmer. In the teens, twenties and thirties here right now. Edited January 10, 2015 by BobT-47P15 Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Or maybe he could interest you in a nice camping rig............ He also has this 39 Plymouth........sitting on some later model Mopar chassis........... Seems a little sketchy to me. But, ya gotta love that red light............

BobT-47P15 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Ahhh........there's the P15 coupe the son in law and I cut the top off to replace his top that was mashed by a huge tree. This car has an independent front end..........independent of the rest of the car. LOL It was a convertible after we converted it........... Best thing about that old coupe was........I got a pretty darn nice original cigarette lighter (plus a couple of tail light lenses). That lighter was the nicest piece on the whole car. It survived all those years, just waiting for me to come along. Edited January 10, 2015 by BobT-47P15 Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) And, the fellow did have a few other old Mopars............ (Nice 49 Plym bumper) D24 coupe........... Chrysler sedan......... Oh I should explain --- all this stuff is at the same place as those Dodge hubcaps. Edited January 12, 2015 by BobT-47P15 Quote
wdoland Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 A little off topic... Does anyone know why some Chrysler hub caps have "Chrysler" painted in red and some have black? Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 Perhaps they are different years. Quote
