ORIGINAL SPARE TIRE QUESTION

[MYSTERYCHEVELLE]

I recently had a topic come up for discussion concerning Spare Tires and wanted to see if anyone here could shed some insight. I will not say what I feel is the correct answer.. just want to see what others say.

Would a Factory spare Tire have a STICKER on the tire? We see so many spares in the trunks of fully restored cars and the sticker on the threads is left on for a more AUTHENTIC LOOK... but would that have been the case in reality.. would your original NEW 66 or 67 or any year car for that matter have had that sticker on the spare from the assembly plant??

Thoughts/Comments welcome
