HUB CAPS

[JIM CLC # 15000]

Sunday I watched a portion of SUNDAY MORNING.
At the end of the program. Bill GIST had a segment on about two difference Hub-Cap stores?
One was Hub Cap Annas in Denver, CO on East Colfax Avenue.
The other was a hub-Cap place in Pope Valley, CA.
I didnt get the name of the one in CA< but I would bet that some CLC member(s) know of each of these places. Right, members.
Good Luck, Jim

Hub Cap Annies here in Denver has a web site at http://www.hubcapannieusa.com/ TARGET=_blank>http://www.hubcapannieusa.com/ .  When I needed a hub cap for my 67 Imperial, a somewhat rusted example there was $75, while I found a mint one at a local salvage yard ( Svigels Auto Parts Inc., (303) 781-4307 ) for $25.   Svigels has also been a source for an air cleaner and a spare tire rim for my 1947 6207.  My comment would be that Annies is a resource if other sources dont pan out, but you can probably do better with some calls to salvage yards.

I would have to agree with Dave.  Hub Cap Annies is a good resource, but only if nothing else pans out.  I found a slotted 1977 cap for my Eldorado at a local yard for $15.  Then stripped off the center medallion and had the center painted the correct color.  It looks great.  Soverign Gold is not an easy color to find. :/
I estimate I saved myself about $100.
