<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: olredalert</div><div class="ubbcode-body">----Dave,,,5/8ths stripe would have been 66/67. 65s had a stripe like the

tire shown which is almost an inch </div></div>

Bill,

You are absolutely correct. My mistake. I've had a couple of 66's and 67's, so I am more familiar with them. Just bought a 65 a couple of months ago but it has goldlines. I'll take a look at the pics on my home computer this evening. Have a great evening everyone.

Dave

Phil,

As Bill said, the tires look to be 7/8ths wide whitewall. Finally able to see them on my home computer tonight. pisses me off that i can't see these pics on my office computer. How is the tread and side wall? The NCRS folks would be all over these if they are in good shape.

Hey Bill,

I think pretty much is known here. This Place really amazes me as to knowledge that exists. Great place to hang out.

Dave

For the '65 only Power Cushion, the white stripe was 31/32&quot;.

It may be an original tire or it could be a period replacement. I was trying to get hold of John Kelsey, but he is at the Branson Auto Auction this weekend.
