Hubcap Capital of the World This place is WEIRD! We just had to stop to check out the hubcap capital of the world on a trip back from Death Valley. We didn't see a soul in the whole place. Not even the hub cap lady.
We did get some photos of the deserted playground. Very creepy. This particular piece of playground equipment looks like a deranged Grimace character from those old McDonald's commercials. [Roberta Morris, 05/08/2009]
Hubcap Capital of the World We were lured to this obscure locality by Pearson's Wrecking Yard, where we
hoped to find a car part. Expecting at least a Taco Bell for dinner, the 'town' appeared to consist only of 3 or 4 trailers on the other side of the Hwy, a HUMONGOUS wrecking yard w/hubcaps ALL over the place, and a really weird child's playground (no children in sight). We missed dinner, slept in the car in the parking lot of the wrecking yard, and were awakened when a strange woman in a bonnet began washing hubcaps right outside of our car. This turned out to be Lucy the "Hubcap Queen," and she evidently collected them and liked to wash them to make them shine.
We got our part and bought a postcard from Lucy of Lucy posing with several hubcaps. One of the weirder experiences in my life. [cheyenne, 02/10/2002]
[RA: May 2007: New photo -- this little oasis still makes a claim as "Hubcap Capital of the World." They added a couple of other worthy attractions in 2007 -- a Uniroyal Gal statue and a "stealth car."]Nearby Offbeat Places
