Set Of 4 - Vintage Rambler Hubcaps Wheel Covers Stored For Decades!!! on 2040-parts.com
Huntsville, Alabama, US
Here is a set of gorgeous wheel covers I acquired back in the 1980s. I was at a wrecking yard in Northern California where I lived and I saw a beautiful white Rambler station wagon with a chrome roof rack sitting in an "off limits" area. It was perfect, but you weren't supposed to touch it because it was part of some stupid California program to demolish old gas guzzelers. But, this car was perfect- paint shiny, chrome shiny, perfect interior. There were several other awesome cars in similar condition parked along side, but this grabbed my attention because I LOVE station wagons. I was able to grab these wheel covers - and pay for them as if taken off a "legitimate" car, and they have been hanging in my garage ever since.
They have NO corrosion whatsoever, The chrome is shiny. There is NO curb rash on any of them. A few have some tiny dings that came from the inside (maybe a pebble got inside) but, there are only 2 or 3 of these dings. One cover has a tiny ding on the edge - not curb rash.
The car these were taken off of must have been garaged and they have been hanging in a dark garage for 30 years.

CAR interviews Chris Bangle: what he did next (2009)
Tue, 22 Dec 2009By Nargess Shahmanesh Banks Motor Industry 22 December 2009 12:30 Chris Bangle is a hard act to follow, even for Chris Bangle. Like him or loath him, the former BMW design director is one of the most famous car designers of our times, recognised for shaking the established status quo with his ‘flame surfacing’ and his radical take on car design. Then in March 2009, after 16 solid years, Bangle announced his retirement from the Bavarian brand and – seemingly – car design.

Tue, 21 May 2013Two Royal College of Art students have designed a Jaguar-inspired sculpture to celebrate the opening of Clerkenwell Design Week in London. Ewan Gallimore and Claire Miller developed their idea alongside Jaguar's Advanced Design team in Whitley, Coventry, by using technologies applied in the creation of Jaguar production and concept cars. The two were the successful team from a selection of nine groups who submitted entries after Jaguar's challenge to the RCA's Vehicle Design and Textile Design departments.
