Olds Hub Cap Game

Show Steve a stack of vintage hub caps and another Hub Cap Game is sure to erupt. In this one (Number 26), Oldsmobile ‘caps dominate the show and bring the OLDS Red Barn Junkyard Crawl series to a close.

[@charlesdalton985]

This whole series has been great - thank you! And of course, the Hub Cap game is always fun. Thank you sir ~ Chuck

[@throckmorton8477]

Many years ago at a Randolph, Ohio swap meet a vendor had a display of at least 6 'knock-off' hub caps from the 1940's-1950's. It was very interesting to see how the makers avoided copy-write infringement with subtle changes to logos and spellings!

Hi Steve, great video on this special edition of the Junkyard Crawl's Hudcap game. I'm with you Steve I really hope someone like Leno will come and buy up those rides, especially the 57 triple carb convertible, and restore it to factory spec. This has definitely been a golden opportunity finding this barn full of automotive history. I can speak from experience these sort of things are getting hard to find but are still out there as this generation begins to transition into the next, an experience that awaits us all. That place needs to be cataloged by someone like yourself with the knowledge needed to distinguish between scrap and another man's treasure. Are you sure you couldn't squeeze out a coupke 3 hudcap game videos? Shane's a musician?🎼🎵🎶 Have a blessed day everyone 🤙🏼 and I'll see y'all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in tomorrow mornings comment section 🍄 Namaste 🙏🏼

What he ^^^ said. More hubcap videos from this cool barn.

[@jasonwaltrowski2315]

Nothing like old hun caps, I can remember when people made a living selling lost hubcaps they picked up off the side of the road, and you'd see the little hubcap stores all along the back roads and little towns

[@edwardbianchi192]

Good stuff. I used to poo poo hub caps. Still do but great to see things from the past.

[@xfactorautomotive1496]

I miss the bi- weekly JC Shitney catalog in the mail box. Once my dad quit buying much from them, every catalog said "order now or this may be your last catalog!". That went on for about 10 years! Lol A wish I had back all the hours I spent as a kid leafing through and dreaming about the day I would have a car and I too could order from JC Shitney! Haha😄

[@santaclause2875]

Ah yes, I still have and use to this day many tools and shop equipment purchased from Whitney back in the late '60's, and early '70's. It was all I could afford as a 15, 16, 17 year-old. Jack stands, 1/2 inch drive socket set, on and on. Crap then, but funny thing is it's better than the China crap we're forced to deal with today!!! It all still works perfectly.

[@MarvinHartmann452]

I thought it looked good, especially the rear end and brakes lights. I don't know if they were good, but they rusted fast here in Canada. But it was a good looking car

[@burthenry7740]

The 'Roadkill' guys look like they lucked onto your Vermont private "collection of classics" on last nights episode! I believe I recognized the Ford wagon and the Quonset hut from one of your previous crawls. Paul was the owner's son's name?

[@throckmorton8477]

I thought that looked familiar! Roadkilling the 1971 Pontiac T-37 ? Those guys remind me of myself and my best friend in high school, working on old junkers and cruising around in them. His dad was a millwright at one of the local tire factories and had a little sideline business selling his coworkers 'transportation specials'. He would buy a car for $50, we would get it going (swapping engines, transmissions or whatever it needed) and then sell them for $300-$400. Good times!

[@burthenry7740]

@@throckmorton8477 Yup, I went back and checked. A crawl for a '65 Ford wagon, "A Ford turbo wagon?" From about 3 months back. And Roadkill is one of the few shows worth watching.

Speaking of Hornets, saw my first commercial for one on TV last night - I had no idea that nameplate was making a comeback! We have Hornets, Mavericks, Broncos, Blazers - what old nameplate would you like to see make a comeback? For me it would be pretty easy - THUNDERBIRD………!!!!!

[@tomwesley7884]

Should've let that one rest along with AMC

[@bobhill3941]

It's nice to see the hubcap game one more time. As a kid in the 90's, I never knew what that symbol was on the Oldsmobile mascot (makes sense it would be a rocket) I wish that vehicle manufacturers would bring back body coloured steel wheels and hub caps for their base models, I always liked that look.

[@ddellwo]

Funny - I was just thinking how much I hated that color-coordinated look that made it’s way onto hubcaps trying to emulate what MB was doing! Different strokes for different folks…….👍

4:58 I had a 1972 Ford Torino that had wheel covers very similar to this. It's amazing how Steve can pull stuff out of a pile and identify it with such accuracy.

THE MERRY OLD OLDSMOBARN

[@DanEBoyd]

"GD Grand Am..."😆😂🤣 "Whore-net?" I LOVE IT!! I have a set of those Magnum 500-looking Ford wheel covers in my basement, but mine are off of a Bumpside, and thus are painted argent/gray in the area where the Dentside-era cover you featured has black paint. I pulled them off of my truck before I put it in storage. I don't want to try with mine, but I suspect that if you remove the plastic 'spoked' part, the core you are left with will resemble the nice wheel covers they put on the sportier full size Fords, like the 7 Liter, in 1966. And I once saw a '69 or '70 Galaxie XL fastback wearing these covers, and always wondered if they were original. That other later Ford Truck wheel cover resembles the 14" factory Fox Mustang wheels I put on my old '82 GT to replace the TRXs. Seller had gotten a set of Ten Holes for his...

[@bradjames7206]

Yeah hub cap game!

[@savedin87ify]

Some cool old hub caps. Make a car themed bar. Buy them hang them on the wall. Or a repair shop put them on the wall. I bought a lot of items from JC Whitney.

[@mexicanspec]

Did anybody else notice how clean most of the wheel covers were on the inside of them?

[@meetjohndoe1078]

I was born and raised in Chicago. Warshawskys! I haven't heard that name in years. LOL!

[@2coolwheels139]

It's a crying shame that GM discontinued Oldsmobile. It had such a rich history, and really great cars.

[@minbannister3625]

FWD didn't help anything.

[@corvairjim1]

Just a couple of things: I'm pretty certain that the "1970 or '71 Impala or Caprice" wheel cover was on fact from a 1969 Caprice. As far as I can recall, that's the one that was on our family car from 1969 through 1977: a 4-barrel 427 Kingswood Estate wagon. Talk about a sleeper! My second point, Steve, and certainly no offense intended, is that maybe you could go easy on putting down certain cars that maybe you don't care much for. Your comment about the AMC Hornet piece is a case in point. I'm not particularly an AMC fan either but, with all of your viewers, there are certainly going to be a bunch of folks who are. You've made some comments about the Corvair that I definitely didn't like, and Corvairs are, by far, my favorite car. You will never hear (or read) me putting down the Mopars or the gassers that you like so much; they aren't my cuppa tea but they're what YOU like. All is that you take into consideration the fact that other guys have different tastes in cars. OK, rant over. We now return to our regularly scheduled KZbin video, already in progress...

[@tracyschmitz9192]

As a young man I loved looking through either JC Whitney or Warshawski and Co catalogs. I think we got both. Page after page of crap we never bought but loved to look at. I take that back, we did buy a 3 speed floor shifter for my Dad's 73 Maverick 6 cylinder. It was garbage so we replaced it with a hurst the next year.

[@Daniel-fd3wp]

How can there be so many hubcaps. Steve you said in yesterday's video how Oldsmobile was selling so many cars that they could afford to change tooling yearly to make the models more marketable. Incredible times. Trickle down into this vast hubcap styling.

[@papasmodelcarroom8450]

This was a great series, lots of cool stuff. That last wheel cover is awesome, definitely would look good on my wall lol.

[@57WillysCJ]

In the old days, if you parked in a bad neighborhood fairly regular, you would switch out your expensive hub caps for a cheap set of knock offs. Thieves would steal and sell a whole set or by the piece. Most would loose a cap along a road. As a kid I would find them in ditches while looking for bottles to cash in. I remember going to JC Whitney's Chicago store for a rebuild kit 40 years ago, Warshawsky was back to back with Whitney. There were a lot of guys working on cars just outside the front door, above and below and in a parking lot a block away.

[@vettekid3326]

I'm surprised there wasn't at least a repop 1953 Olds Fiesta hubcap in the stash. The '53 Oldsmobile Fiesta convertibles' spinner hubcaps were prized by custom car builders so much repops were available in J.C. Whitney catalogs thru the 1970's. Speaking of cheap J.C. Whitney caps I had a set of 14" mag look alikes my older brother had bought and never used. I put them on my second car, a 1968 Dodge Dart briefly. They had a habit of popping off when you went around a corner even at normal speeds.
