Re: GMC poverty caps

We have all heard the term "poverty caps" used countless times in the car culture to describe the small hubcap or base model hubcap. IMO, the term was always inaccurate and insulting as well. It was to be construed as "poor people buy models with small hubcaps". In reality, small hubcaps were the norm on most base and deluxe pickup trucks till the 90's, when styled wheels took over in most lines.
