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.

Sounds like it could really be an original tire. Display use only!!!!
