Hubcap Game PART 25

The Magic Hub Cap Van is finally empty. After 25 episodes, this marks the end of The Hubcap Game. See you ‘round!

[@johnkranyics281]

There should be an encore episode when Steve puts the hubcaps back in the van! Picks out the rare ones and fan favourites. 🇨🇦

[@gertraba9806]

U kidding? Van wood have to be size of a semi to fit all of em

[@nathanjoseph4284]

I think it would be sorta cool to see one more Hubcap Game episode where Steve sorts through the hubcaps he tossed and picks his top favorites.

Mr. B. Here ! Morning all ! Hubcap & coffee 😊😊 !

[@1984xlx]

A lot of those hub caps bring back memories. I remember opening the package or box and installing them on brand new cars when I worked at Gm, Ford and AMC car dealerships in the 80's and 90's.

[@dvieira9766]

The Thunderbird hub cap was from 1977 to 1979 thunderbird not 72 or 73 . But I have enjoyed all of the hubcap games also . Good way to remember the good old days!,, Thanks for all your efforts!,

[@nickrao4691]

Sad to see the hubcap game end. Hope Steve comes up with another educational junk yard museum game in the future! Thanks again Steve!

[@garyspaun5237]

These videos are always very helpful and informative - thank you!

[@MichaelandCathy1999]

I learned a lot from Steve’s meandering through the yard and watched his going through those old parts of history. I saw my old Ford Maverick wheels, my first car, 69’ Olds Cutlass’s convertible rims ( 10:04 )and even a set of Mercury Comet wheels from the ‘70’s. Great memories and a great flashback to a better time in motoring. Keep up the good work Steve, will miss this “step back in time”, but onward and upward. 👍🇨🇦

[@johnmckeighan4400]

Really enjoyed the hub cap game. Thank you Steve.

[@jonathangehman4005]

HEY! Youse jus' gonna leave all dese' hubcaps layin' aroun' my yard! Wassa matta' witchoo!? One thing I'm going to miss about the Hubcap Game is hearing my buddy Steve tell us about some rare, interesting example in surprisingly nice cindition, finish by saying "Really a pretty special piece..." then CLANG! CRASH, BANG! hurl it on the pile. Comedy(Junkyard) Gold right there

[@steveib724]

Steve I paid 92.00 bucks for center plastic cap for an 06 tundra at dealership freaky times. Keep em turning 👍

[@edwardbianchi192]

I really enjoyed this series so much more than I thought I would. Those were the “rims” / “bling bling” back in the days. You really brought my appreciation of the manufacturing and design process of these “simple wheel covers”. I always poo pooed them. I really learned a lot and would love to see videos of them being made. I collect everything car related, I have my own junk yard lol. I look at my small collection of hubcaps that I found over the years differently. Thank you Steve and Shane. I can’t wait to see the next game you come up with!

[@chrissimes9445]

What a cool series, combining Steve's intense knowledge of cars with interesting details on how they were made, and the styling decisions behind that. Only Steve could do this!

[@scottbogfoot]

Now you have to find another horde of caps for season 2

[@brianaustin208]

Steve, your breaking my heart I love the hub cap game, gonna miss it,it was a hell of a ride!

[@patricksperformance2203]

Awww!! Well Steve, you need to find another van full of hubcaps.

[@Daniel-fd3wp]

@Patrick’s Performance Rumor has it he is scouting the yard as we speak. 👍🤣

[@petervitti9]

I always liked to cross cap my cars. Actually I had no choice. I put a set of 1975 dodge monaco hubcaps on a 1979 oldsmobile delta 88. OR 1974 Caprice on a 1970 Monte Carlo. Looked good. I remember when some people put a 1957 plymouth hub caps on other cows.

[@bennettcom]

Gonna miss the ole' hubcap game. Thanks for bringing it out.

[@johntomlin3282]

Thanks for the hub cap games Steve it brought back lots of memories of my youth. Thanks you rock! The Buick cover you were not sure of was called a summerset.

[@Litauen-yg9ut]

HA, my older brother had an AMC Eagle SX/4 back when with those same covers. ALSO, I have one of those 64 SS wheel covers down in the man cave...Neat Stuff..

[@Funsho97]

Ah man so sorry this is the final episode of the Hubcap Game. I have enjoyed seeing all the different styles from throughout the years, makes and models. Hope you can bring this back!!! Wouldn't ya know it, the very last hubcap is the style that is on my 1968 Dodge D100 Custom truck!!! The wheel covers on my truck have the red insert with the Fratzog in the center!!! Thanks Steve!!!

[@mikebrown8065]

There's gotta be another van.....🤣 Thanks Steve 👍

[@thechriscollection9983]

The Monte Carlo had the Roman numerals on the grill emblem only in 1970 and 1971. The Thunderbird hubcap was from '77 to '79. More hubcap vids! Always enjoyed!

[@ddellwo]

I want to say that Oldsmobile cover mirrored those found on the pea green ‘69 Delta 88 that was handed down to me by my parents as my first car! In my mind, the auto manufacturers took all the folks who HAD been designing wheel covers and transferred them into the “Cupholder Design Department” since the former started phasing out right about the time the latter was kicking into high gear…….😂

[@tomwesley7884]

Yeah, at some point cup holders became the rage, late '80's early '90's?

[@daveb227]

I recognize the center hub of the Impala SS cover. Back in the '70s when I rode the school bus one of the older kids sold me the SS inner hub which I still have in my shop today.

[@oldyellow8120]

I hope that there can be some followup episodes of the Hubcap Game! I really enjoyed this series! I would pause the video before Steve would say what the hubcap was from to see if I got it right or not. I surprised myself with missing some of them - still more to learn. Thanks Steve for your really fantastic videos! They are greatly appreciated!

[@dougeaton2446]

Time to find another hubcap truck lol.... gonna miss the hubcap game

[@charlesdalton985]

Sorry to see the Hubcap Game go, but it’s been a great ride. That deep dish Chevy wheel cover is reminiscent of the deep dish covers you’ve shown us from Cadillac. In any event, thank you! ~ Chuck

Plenty of hubcaps at George's..and alot of wheels

[@waynetaylor8082]

As this game winds down, I have one question. Who gets the job of "restocking" the panel truck?

[@rockettcustoms6266]

THANK GOD! Too many cool cars to see there, we don't need to see boring hub caps!

[@fhwolthuis]

8:30 that looks great inside out! Imagine putting those on some tubed steelies 😍👍🏻

[@unclelala4216]

I love how Steve has real dirt and real cuts and scrapes all over him....he is the real Junk Yard McCoy ! 🤣

[@gillgetter3004]

Reminds me of searching thru the old hub cap/ wheel cover spots on Detroit’s west side. Hundreds in sets and singles hanging on fences and walls in piles etc.. They are all gone now but still some at wrecking yards👍

[@88SC]

That series made me appreciate the design effort that went into hubcaps and wheel covers back then. Especially when by tweaking the “flair” that was attached to drastically change their appearance. My favorite is the 1966 Dodge Charger full wheel cover. Maybe because I saw the on the chrome tree on the 1/25 scale Charger my older brother built. And the ‘66 Caprice cover looks like it could be converted into a Bundt cake pan in an emergency. Nothing can beat a set of American Racing Torque Thrust mags - or a good set of chrome reverse wheels, depending on the application imho. But some of these hubcaps are downright inspired!

[@chrisscearce]

Hi Steve, it was a great run 25 wonderful Hudcap games! Despite my pain, I felt not the regret of an ending, but the foreboding of a beginning. There's a trick to the 'graceful exit.' It begins with the vision to recognize when a job, a life stage, or a relationship is over--and let it go. It means leaving what's over without denying its validity or its past importance to our lives. It involves a sense of future, a belief that every exit line is an entry, that we are moving up, rather than out. Well, I'm on the rd again off to a show tonight in Charlottesville, VA. Have a blessed day, everyone🤙🏼Namaste 🙏🏼

[@jeffclark2725]

Well said,now HCG 26 Encore will be Steve in a tux highlighting the previous 25 episodes

[@ddellwo]

Either that or he just ran out of hubcaps……..😂

[@chrisscearce]

The new beginning now begins... putting them all back inside. Will it be like a hole dug in the ground? Where now it seems like there's too much 🤔 ? 3 more hrs on the road. Can't wait to get the party started 🤪 Namaste 🙏🏼

[@JCVACCARO]

I remember those days. Turning a bumby corner and losing a hubcap

[@Novaman66]

“Say it ain’t so, Now I have to grieve since the hub cap games demise!!!” Sorry to see it leave! Please research for more covers for us wheel cover lovers!!!

[@bertgrau3934]

On the Dodge hub cap, I'm sure that was a full size Dodge pickup, I had an 88 Dakota 4X4 and it didn't use locking hubs, it was vacuum operated, on the passenger side if the axle it had a locking mechanism when shifted into 4 wheel drive, vacuum operated shifter would move a splined hub, it would lock a drive shaft to the passenger side and on the driver side it was a solid connection when shifted into 4 wheel drive a mechanical shift in the transfer case would also engage the front drive shaft. Mine had aluminum wheels

[@daynadiggle8169]

And now the panel van and caps are headed to The Smithsonian for permanent display .

[@peterantonopoulos2572]

My favorite game , morning steve

[@googleusergp]

I'm glad the van is empty and not that you stopped doing it because people don't like it. The hubcap game isn't really my thing, but it's your channel, you're the boss. LOL. Yup, that first one came from an "Almost a Car" and "All Make Combined" Concord based Eagle. Yes, they were popular, but the rust ate them alive, and they faded pretty quickly. Correct, the "SS" was an appearance package, and could be had on a six-cylinder equipped vehicle. That looks like a circa 1980-1981 Buick Skylark cover. The Skyhawk would debut again in the 1982 model year as Buick's "J" car offering. Prior to that point up to 1980, it was a rear body "H" body car. My grandparents had an '82 Skyhawk that was a loaded model and was a trade-in at the Cadillac dealership that my dad worked at. They had it a few years, I did some repair to it, and they sold it for the 1989 Cavalier that they bought new (which I eventually wound up with. It was my first commuter car in the early 2000's. I still have it, but it's been "retired" at my other property for a number of years now). Prior to that, my '84 Delta 88 was my commuter car. (I still have it, also "retired" at the same location). That was a good pun at the end, quite witty. You were a good "wheel" man while it lasted. LOL.

[@tomwesley7884]

So how's the Cavalier and the Delta doing? I scrapped a '95 Sunfire convertible last year, hated to scrap it. My Sunfire was triple white with a sequence number 455 VIN. My daughter blew a whole in the block

In memory of the Hubcap Game, I propose Steve hold a “reverse” HC Game and guess the source of wheels/hubcaps viewers send in... . Let’s put Steve’s encyclopedic automotive knowledge to the test!
