Old Plymouth hubcaps
« on: December 31, 2016 - 03:51:50 PM »



I found the left hubcap first after having to walk on a deserted road after the truck broke down and found the second hubcap 26 miles away and about 2 months later at a jobsite that had previously been a landfill.
What are the odds they are from the same vehicle?

If those hubcaps could talk, there would probably be a pretty cool story to hear.

What are the odds someone would actually pick those up and take them home ? ???  I guess it's a weird "car guy thing".... :clueless:

Haha, you should see the stuff Or crap I save..
I just cleaned out my storage space and drove 1132 miles with all of it for its final stop.
At least now I wont be having to pay to keep it.

I am thinking of trying to straighten these hubcaps out , just to see if I can.

As far as using a shovel to dig up more parts of the car, there is a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints we built on top of it now.
