1956 Oldsmobile Olds Spinner Hubcap Nr Mint Nos? 3-bar Flipper 15" Chrome-finish on 2040-parts.com
San Diego, California, US
PRICE LOWERED FOR FAST SALE!! FINAL BUY-IT-NOW PRICE CUT BY ABOUT $45.00!
UPDATE - THE GOLDEN HUE IS DUE TO THE OVERHEAD LIGHTING. THE ORIG. PAINT IS SILVER, AND THE HUBCAP IS CHROMED (see last photo for comparison with the factory spinner for Olds).
THIS IS A RARITY - ONE OF TWO '50s-era VERSIONS OF THE SPINNER HUBCAP FOR THE 1956 OLDS (the other type has more rounded-edged trio of "Saturn" rings in between the similar beefy tri-bar, and is the OEM, less flashy version). THIS '50s "AFTERMARKET" (ALTHOUGH IT DOESN'T LOOK REPRO) CHROMED STEEL HUBCAP IS DESIGNED TO FIT A GM WHEEL 15 INCHES IN DIAMETER, AND IS IN REMARKABLE (ALMOST LIKE-NEW, "NEAR NOS") CONDITION. IT IS WELL OVER 50 YEARS OLD. THE CHROME IS VERY LUSTROUS, AND THE PAINT LOOKS LIKE IT'S LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. THE ONLY TINY FLAW IS NOTED BY MY FINGERTIP (TWO TINY BUMPS FROM THE INSIDE THAT BARELY CAN BE SEEN, AND ONLY UPON CLOSE SCRUTINY). IF YOU NEED ONE OF THESE TO COMPLETE OR ADD TO A SET, YOU'D BE WELL ADVISED TO GRAB IT. WOULD LOOK FANTASTIC ON A WIDE-WHITEWALL SPARE TIRE & RIM IN A SHOW CONDITION TRUNK. THIS CAP WOULD (ALSO) MAKE A GREAT WALL ORNAMENT (CONVERSION FOR MINT NEON CLOCK, WITH THE "BARS" AT 12:00, 4:00 AND 8:00?) IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE THIS TYPE. MANY HOTROD ENTHUSIASTS (CLASSIC CAR AFICIONADOS) PUT THESE CAPS ON THEIR NON-OLDS CARS, BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A BETTER LOOKING CRUISER CAR HUBCAP MADE IN THIS COUNTRY (in my opinion!). Please see what '50s Mopar spinners are going for in the same condition! I've seen a 1950s set sell for $7,500 in this condition (9 yrs ago - I saved auction)!
**********NOTE********** LAST PIC ABOVE IS OF AN OEM '56 OLDS SPINNER (for comparison with the one in this auction - which I think looks much more dazzling!). I CHECKED MY LOCKER IN MY SPARE BEDROOM (WHERE I STORE THIS HUBCAP - CLIMATE CONTROLLED!), AND FOUND THAT I WAS HOARDING TWO O.E.M. 1956 OLDS SPINNER HUBCAPS (FULL WHEELCOVERS FROM THE DEALER - THE STAINLESS KIND MADE BY OLDSMOBILE). THEY ARE EXTREMELY NICE. ONE LOOKS FREE OF DINGS, AND THE OTHER HAS A FEW TINY DINGS ON THE PERIMETER. IF I SOLD THIS ONE (in the ad), I'D OFFER AN AUCTION TO THE WINNING BIDDER ON THE PAIR. FOR THE TIME BEING, I'D LIKE TO KEEP THEM THOUGH. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BOTH TYPES (OR THIS OTHER), PLEASE CALL ME AT 6one9-442-2800. I'D BE HAPPY TO SET UP AN AUCTION FOR YOU. Thank you...
SHIPPING/PACKING: THE QUOTE INCLUDES ESTIMATED INSURANCE/VALUATION + DELIVERY TO A NON-RURAL RESIDENCE. SORRY ABOUT THE COST - BECAUSE I'M IN THE CORNER OF THE COUNTRY, SHPG COSTS MAY BE A BIT MORE. SETS OF LARGE HUBCAPS (AND LARGER ITEMS) MAY BE DIMENSIONALLY WEIGHTED (i.e., charged more than actual weight) BY UPS IN ANY BOX 16”x18”x18” OR LARGER (> 5183 TOTAL INCHES). I DON’T CHARGE A SEPARATE HNDLNG FEE, SO WHEN YOU SEE THE EFFORT I WENT THROUGH TO PACK THIS ORDER, YOU'LL THINK IT'S A BARGAIN. I WILL COMBINE SHIPPING, IF ITEMS CAN BE SHIPPED TOGETHER SAFELY (by deducting approx. 50% of the lesser shpg cost for each additional item). NOTE THAT I CAN’T ADD THE EXTRA CHARGES IT COSTS ME FOR A BUYER’S RESIDENTIAL DELIVERY OR RURAL RSDNTL, INSURANCE, AND FUEL SURCHARGE, AND I PAY A COMMISSION OUT OF THE SHPG PRICE. SO I’M OFTEN UNDERSTATING THE ACTUAL OUT-OF-POCKET COST IN THE QUOTE. ALSO, IT IS MY PREROGATIVE TO USE A DIFFERENT SHIPPER THAN THAT LISTED IN THE AUCTION (e.g., U.S.P.S. instead of U.P.S.), IF I FEEL THE ITEM CAN BE TRANSPORTED MORE EFFECTIVELY BY OTHER MEANS (i.e., more cheaply, or in pre-fab cartons, such as those used by U.S.P.S.). IN THE MEANTIME, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AT ANYTIME: 6one9-442-2800. PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE IF I CAN'T GET TO THE PHONE! THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR INTEREST & COOPERATION...
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: WELCOME! IF THE SHPG QUOTE SEEMS A LITTLE HIGH, PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING. IT TAKES ME QUITE A BIT OF EXTRA TIME TO SEND A PKG OUT OF THE U.S.; A VERY NOMINAL HNDLG CHARGE’S BEEN ADDED. I WILL SEND PHOTOS OF PACKAGING DETAIL (IF REQUESTED).
LAYAWAY OPTION & PAYMENT TERMS: YOU MUST MAKE A PAYMENT FOR THIS ITEM (at least 50% down) WITHIN 48 HOURS. I WILL ALLOW UP TO 30 DAYS (90 days, if pre-arranged) FOR THE BALANCE DUE TO BE PAID. Thank you for your cooperation...
FEEDBACK: MY REWARD IS THE SATISFACTION OF HAPPY
BUYERS, AND MY GOAL IS TO ACHIEVE 5 STAR RATINGS. THERE
IS NO RATING FOR HOW WELL A BOX IS PACKED (CUSHIONED), AND THAT IS WHERE I EXCEL.
IF THERE IS ANY DELAY IN SHPMT,
PLEASE CONSIDER HOW WELL I PACKED THE ITEM(S), AND THE HOURS I’VE SPENT. I’VE BEEN KNOWN TO DOUBLE-BOX, USE
DOUBLE-WALL BOXES, & WRAP THINGS 3 DIFFERENT WAYS. IN 34 YRS OF SHPG (OF EVERY VEHICLE PART
AND/OR SHEET METAL/FRAME/BODY SECTION IMAGINABLE, AND WITH EVERY AIR OR GROUND CARRIER
& TRUCKING FIRM YOU’VE EVER HEARD OF), I’VE RARELY EVER HAD A DAMAGED SHPMT! I KINDLY & HUMBLY ASK THAT YOU LEAVE A
RATING OF *****, IF YOU DO LEAVE A RATING.
FYI: IN 2011, I DONATED ALMOST HALF OF MY YEAR’S EBAY SALES RECEIPTS TO THE JAPAN EARTHQUAKE & TSUNAMI RELIEF FUND…

Chevrolet Volt faces toughest test--consumers
Sun, 28 Nov 2010Scientists, journalists and a slew of other alleged experts have all weighed in on the 2011 Chevrolet Volt, and now the only verdict that truly matters--the public's--will be rendered. General Motors said 6,348 consumers have taken the extended-range car for a spin during a 12-city “Volt Unplugged Tour,” and not surprisingly, GM's reviewers like it. Still, initial feedback does appear to be truly positive.
