Dave and I are trying to figure out the great tire mystery that goes along with this car as we speak. All the owners say the originals stayed with the car. When Jim Hughes got the car he removed the original wheels and tires which are old polyglass sized Goodyears thinking they were old tires but not original to the car and set them aside and installed repop wheels and tires so he could drive and enjoy the car. Jim never spoke to the original owner to learn the no size factory original Firestones were swapped at the dealer with sized goodyear polyglass tires and were original to the car when it left the dealership. I learned this morning that when Dave bought the car the car had the repop wheels and tires on it with the originals put into the trailer to go to Charley's then to Dave's. Dave upon receiving the car removed the repop tires that Jim put on and put on new correct original repop no size tires. I have emails into Dave and Charley asking if Dave ever got the original wheels and tires because they both may not have been told by Jim or the truck driver that the extras were the originals? Anyway Dave has a set of old originals in his warehouse but believes them to be built long after 1969. Dave knows his stuff so he is surely correct the question is whether Dave knows the wheels and tires in the trailer were the ones on the car when Jim Hughes bought it from Jerry B? So if we can locate the tires put into the trailer up at Jim's and sent to Charley's we can get some numbers to see if they possibly could have been the originals installed back at the dealership in June 1969.
