Bucrons….we all searched the gas stations racks for used Bucrons back then for the softer rubber.

In Pasadena, the Casler Tire Co had a big recap cheater slick available until the mid '70's or so. They were made off of the biggest tire available, usually a 9.00 or a 9.50 X 14 or 15 inch tire like Lincolns or Cadillacs took. The Bucrons were built in compliance with rules mandating a 7 inch wide tire regardless of wear. The way to get them to work was with 9 pounds of air or less. Ever lift at 100 or so miles an hour with tires with only 9 pounds in them?

I think Cecil and I tried to clean out the bucrons in Texas! I bought the used trade in’s and wore them out on the streets. They really did work, but at 9lbs and close to 100 was crazy!!
Back in the day, there was a place on Old Webberville Road in Austin, Tx the sold used Bucrons for $5.00 to $10.00. Never purchase a new one, but got 2 for the rear every month or so. Kept 2 mounted in my trunk til I got to the track.

Looks like it was a well sorted car. 
love the Radir wheels, must have had front end ball joint extensions.
