New Shoes (or Sandals) on the wagon

Just picked up some vintage (60's-70's??) Buick (Lesabre??) Wheel Covers from Hubcapkindgom (.com) Put them on tonight, and I just can't stop looking at the car now, I can't believe the difference it makes in the look! I am really starting to get excited about doing some work on the wagon soon. Sorry about the crappy cell phone pics!




Now I just need one more cap, so if anyone comes across one, or knows of a good place to buy vintage caps, please let me know! Next project is installing aftermarket black rubber strip, painting the flaking C-Pillars, Replacing the front bumper, and possibly a rewood (with Contact Paper, just to see if I like it, so not permanent!) Thanks for looking, it's been a while since I've posted.

those look nice. welcome back, and don't get too crazy with the contact paper

Hi Dave

Still not going to be able to go to WagonFest? Your car is looking sharp.

Nice look chris, I used a set of them myself for a long time. I've only ever lost one, in heavy traffic in Montreal I'm sure the guy in the honda civi behind me wasn't too pleased to dicover it when he got home... I seen it rolling upright and cut into his lower front valance and into his lower rad.... took me a while to find a replacement, nice score!

Never seen those caps before...look pretty slick I hope this gets you going on the wagon again...it does look nice from the pics! Wish you could come to WagonFest as I would love to see you again!

Chris

thanks for the kind words, unfortunately not going to make it to WF, but I will see you in Oct, right Chris?

Nice! I think those are some of my favorite wheels, even in wheel cover form they look cool!

And technically, if tires are shoes, shouldn't wheels/covers be socks?

Yeah!

Sweet! They look just like the vintage Buick wheels... in fact I was about to chime in and say "those aren't hubcaps!".

Anyway, nice score!

Those look great! Are they on the website you provided? (I can't find them )

No, you have to call them, and they only had the 3 that I got, the next one they get is mine!

Who knew those came as frikken hubcaps???? Too cool!

Lookin good, Dave! Drop everything and come to the Fest. We're busy in October.

me too...the reason I'll see Chris is that he is playing Cello at my brother in law's wedding in SC. Wagon, nor I will be coming to WF, no money, and no vacation time.

Pat, in your opinion when side by side, do these look enough like the actual rims to use one real rim with the three caps? I might be able to get a good deal on one rally wheel, just can't find anymore hubcaps!
