Pat was born in the 1940s. She never told us her age but she said she started collecting hubcaps in her 40s which is around the 1980s. She said the hubcaps from the 1980s looked terrible. So when she started collecting hubcaps they were from the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s. She mentioned the shininess of the hubcaps stood out to her. When we asked her if she was a flashy person she said she rather look flashy than dull. And the metal hubcaps caught her attention. She had such a passion for this that she said when her friends would find hubcaps, they would pull over and get them for her. In the 1980s when she started collecting them, the hubcaps in the 70s and 80s were made of plastic and she didn't like that.
