'55-'56 hubcaps

[RO]

I guess this is as much I have seen for a pair of "undescribed" hubcaps and bidding isn't over yet.

Note that Chirco in Tucson is high bidder in both auctions.

I've often wondered about his bidding so much for all sorts of parts, weither he has that many different models or may be a vendor? Jack

Yes. Tucson (AZ) Packard.

I've encountered him at the PI meets in Orange, CA. Really good stuff, just $$$$. That seems to be OK with the Newport Beach crowd who are usual show cars at the PI meets.

BTW, at the PI meets I attended (last in 1999, the 100th anniversary one), there is a vendor "parking lot sale" on the last day. Back then, I bought a pair of really good used 1955-56 wheel covers for like $40 per (don't remember the exact price, but about that). I have since lost one of those (see my previous thread on wheel covers staying on NOT), but all of Circo's parts were in very good to excellent condition, but way $$$.

I have no problem with that...hey, supply & demand and he's in it as a business. There'll always be the "Newport Beach" guys who never turn a wrench on the own cars, but just write a check to the restorer or in Jay Leno's case (a PI member), pay their salary. They support the USA economic system, so that's OK by me.

Jack, Chirco is a vendor of Packard parts and comes all

the way up to Perrysburg to sell.
