This isn’t an individual find, but a whole fence full of finds. I spotted this by a used car lot while riding my bike down Elston Avenue on the northwest side of Chicago. This is like a junk drawer of odd hubcaps, all hung up for display. It could actually be considered a collection, or an art installation. I don’t know if these are used for spares, or if they’re just saved to be saved. Either way, it makes a nice group overall, and it might span decades of automobiles. Of all the hubcaps that have fallen off and rolled to the curb sides, here is one spot where they’ve been gathered up. There are actually probably many spots like this, all like hubcap art galleries.
I wonder if any of the car owners know that their lost hubcap is now part of a hubcap fence.

If I remember correctly, when I lived in Peoria, IL, there was a hubcap house. I’m not sure if it’s still there, though.
