There appears to be a new renaissance of attitudes towards appearances. IMO, the original "look" is in after decades of "whatever tickles you fancy", majority of hubcaps were tossed aside in the first days of ownership, usually for some current fad , wagon wheels, cyclone wheels, slot type wheels etc. and good hubcaps were sold cheap at swap meets and online. Different story lately, there is now a demand for good hubcaps. Hubcaps are an extension of body styling applied to the wheels. Here is a '68 C 20 ( not mine) with original chrome hubcaps, hard to beat the look, especially when hubcaps and paint on wheels are both in great condition, they compliment each other, IMO, the look is priceless. The way things are going with supply and demand on good hubcaps, some might want to stay with "whatever" at this point in the game.
