\"\"<\/a>Recently the owner of Hubcaps.com and one of our employees (Matt, seen in the picture) had a chance to embark on a week long buying trip.\u00a0 We usually take trips here locally each week to purchase hub caps and wheel covers<\/a> but try to schedule in a big purchasing trip once a month or so.<\/p>\n

We start off the trip by calling all possible locations that might have hubcaps of all sorts such as ford centercaps<\/a> , chevy hubcaps<\/a> , cadillac hub caps<\/a> , toyota wheelcovers<\/a> , and many more.\u00a0 We speak with whoever runs the place and ask if they have any hubcaps to sell.\u00a0 We have conversations with many people and begin to form friendships with some of them.<\/p>\n

Just a couple of months ago, Rick and Matt flew into Seattle, picked up a huge U-haul truck, drove up to the Canadian border and began their trip through Washington and Oregon.\u00a0 This trip was seven days long. Their days started at 7 am each morning and continued with them driving and searching through caps until midnight.<\/p>\n

Starting near the Canadian border, they drove through Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, and Spokane, stopping to look at hubcaps in many of the smaller towns and most of the bigger ones. They then wound their way down through Oregon, stopping in Portland, Eugene, Salem, Medford and other cities.\u00a0 It\u2019s grueling work, driving and stopping to dig through someone\u2019s hubcaps, wheelcovers and center caps. We usually clean someone out, purchasing all that they\u2019ll sell us.<\/p>\n

It truly is a lot of work for the two of them.\u00a0 Out in the elements, fighting bees, spiders and sometimes snakes.\u00a0 (Yuck) Our purchasers come home very tired but so pleased with what they were able to bring home.<\/p>\n

On this particular trip, Hubcaps.com was able to acquire nearly 7,000 hub caps and centercaps to add to our growing collection. We were particularly pleased with the amount of older wheel covers we purchased which included a large lot of Mustang hub caps that span many different years.\u00a0 Stay tuned for more posts on purchasing trips.\u00a0 We have many planned!<\/p>\n
