Story that popped up in Google News caught my attention:

Wheels bare? Hubcap Tony's got you covered
"You name it, and chances are pretty good Hubcap Tony's got it.
On a recent day, Tony, 80, scrambled around his Murray store to find hubcaps
for a 1998 Plymouth Voyager, a 1963 Ford Mustang and a 1946 Hudson."

Well, there WAS a prototype running around somewhere... Perhaps it hit a
pothole up by Tony's place and lost one of its one-off hubcaps.
