Art & Inspiration anyone ever seen these clear red hubcaps??

Fer a tenner you can add some LED valve stem caps under those beauty bubbles baby!

 

Do they come in chrome?

 

My father made a plywood board version back in the mid 60s, called the game aggravation. still have it.

 

lol

 

14" wheels didn't appear on cars until 57 or 58 IIRC.

 

The beauty of eBay you can price things at whatever ridiculous price you want.

 

If mark has never seen ‘em they are rare, but 2 G’s ?!?!?!



While I can appreciate them
For being old, rare , and different. No ..... just, just no.

 

Bad Chad needs those!

 

they look like they could be colored covers for in-ground pool lights. Even the name, Beauty Bubbles fits.

 

$2,000...
Drats... even MORE nostalgic parts that I can't afford but really need... so I'm gonna have to make myself.
I'll make extras for you guys.

 

new meaning to " running a red light".....

 

Absolutely not!.....

 

To be “traditional”, wouldn’t they’ve been in wide use “in the day”?
ie: Starting a tradition?

 

Only you, Mike!

 

Those are very cool

I have a pair of red ones I bought at Iola swap meet like 10 years ago, they're hanging up on my garage wall. I had seen Nads' post (the one 36cab referenced above) and was under the impression they were tire store display pieces, but I guess they really were used on cars. I think they're super cool looking but I'd be afraid they'd fall off at speed, better for a show car maybe, or maybe they really would mount nice and tight, never tried. Looks great on the '61 Impala.

I've been watching for more but I bought the only 2 I ever saw in person.

 

Mine have little fake chrome wheel inserts behind them, I'll try to get some pics later.

 

I'd go along with them being tire store display pieces. Setting in the window of a tire store they would probably draw an eye right to that tire.

 

My eyes just shot out of my head. They look just too kool!! I about bought a set twenty years ago they were asking around $400. I just couldn't pull the trigger. I can't wait to see pics when the Chevy is on the ground. Great find!

 

I'll get some closeups when I'm home later, but here's a couple I took in my garage for insurance that shows them, if you look close you can see the inserts behind the bubble that look like a chrome steel wheel.

 

There's a set of yellow ones on eBay right now...too pricey for me!

 

I thought Beauty Bubbles was a stripper. I know where those bubbles went.

Not sure how useful these grainy pictures are (I had poor lighting) but here's a couple of my red ones with the fake chrome wheel inserts in them, similar to what mgtstumpy posted.
