Hubcaps --20,000 heading to the dumpster end of Oct 2016
ok heres over 20,000 hubcaps going to the dump pile at the end of this month ..Many are Studebakers and Fords

Linda and Andy are shutting down Happy Hubcap in Sacramento--- they have sold their building ..

thus every hubcap has to be gone and they have quite few nice caps for EVERYTHING.. including many Studes

the problem is-- they do not have

email -
face book-
texting -

so is its "ma bell" or going in person with a sample or a pic of what you need

phone is 916-388-1600

6720 Fruitridge road off of highway 50 in Sacramento CA

it all goes in a dumpster on Oct 29th sad but true

 

I would suspect some enterprising individual or individuals will offer a few dollars for the inventory rather than allow everything to be trashed.

 

This is getting some exposure. Suspect Dave saw it on the Studebaker Drivers Club (SDC) forum, and I saw it on the Studebaker Truck Talk (STT) forum. Somebody I'm sure will step up and rescue the lot. Similar to what happened when Job Lot closed its doors. Stu

 

I'm all for mom'n'pop operations, but c'mon, the first question someone is going to ask about a hubcap is what condition is it in? They going to shoot a picture with their Instamatic, have the film developed, and snail-mail it?! If they only got $5 a cap, they're losing out on a hundred grand.

 

Stu I did see it on the Studebaker forum but thought of FTE as I know some guys are looking for hub caps. I just don't understand why no social network services. Maybe that is the reason they sold the building. There use to be a great store here in Lexington but the guy sold all pre 70 caps as they brought good salvage weight for scrapping. That maybe what is going to happen here.

I think the following is an acceptable definition of Luddite . Probably applicable in their case.

A Luddite is a person who dislikes technology, especially technological devices that threaten existing jobs or interfere with personal privacy.

 

On the east coast here there are several guys that deal in hubcaps. One such guy calls himself the Hubcap King. I would think there is someone out west that buys and sells hubcaps that would be interested the whole lot.
