Sounds like that car took 40 years off of you, and now you are a new kid with a new toy. I'm wondering if you will be sitting on Santa's lap and telling him about all those other toys that you want for Christmas ???

He's a many times over repeat customer on Santa's lap

I thought that hole in the trunk with a plywood cover was an ice chest for cold beer I was 18 when I had my 62 Vet

 

[Phil Reed]

Great idea Mike!!!!! Have to insulate it!!!!!!

 

[real61ss]

Thanks Mike!!!! I'll give Simple Tire a call tomorrow.

I don't think any of those tires have 1" white walls, they look narrower than 1"

 

[Phil Reed]

Tommy.....Coker lists them 1" Classic Whitewalls.
Since you are on the phone.....Classic Consoles is the maker. Google them. It was not a problem with me yesterday. Can't imagine a large Pepsi cup and trying to shift!!!!

Kelsey has Goodyears with 1".

 

[Phil Reed]

Thanks Cecil!!! I looked up their website. Yes they do. It is bias-ply. I'll call them Tuesday and see if they have a radial version.
The bias-ply is $60 more than the Coker.
I'll keep you posted!!!

 

[oldskydog]

Not a recommendation but they are in your neck of the woods so you might be able to avoid shipping.

Bias ply belong in the past.

 

[Phil Reed]

That is what I was thinking!!!!!!!

 

[skipxt4]

There's enough Bias, in our world, now.

 

[Phil Reed]

You are right Skip!!!!!!!

Well, tires have been ordered this morning. After reading everyone's conversations, I ordered the Coker tires. They had my size, type of white wall and being a radial. I was told the first of Oct. delivery. It was 52 this morning so it's not convertible weather right now!!!!
Cecil.....I checked both of your websites and could not find what I was
wanting. Mike....it just fit with me to go with Coker. Also, I PMed Mr. Noland (have to say that because he's older than me!!) to ask what he had on his 62. Same size I was looking at except his silver car looks better with black walls. He said mine would look better with white walls. I agreed.
As Paul Harvey would say....That's the rest of the story!!!!!!!
Have all 5 new rims so just waitin' on tires!!!!!

 

[Junky]

Spin your rims for out of round and balance before you mount the tires. Also look for the paint dot on the tire, and put that in line with the valve stem.

 

[Phil Reed]

Junk....already thought of that!!!!! Probably spin the rims next week.

 

[Phil Reed]

WELL.....look at what just showed up!!!!!! 2 weeks early!!!!! Hope to post pictures by this weekend!!!!
Mike....if you would have told me you were a dealer I certainly would have bought them from you!!!!!!
Candy and I have been gone for 5 days and I need to mow today!!

 

[1958 delivery]

well, let's see them on the car

 

[bjburnout]

well, let's see them on the car

But turn them around first........

Make sure to wash the blue off of the white walls before driving on them. I use Simple Green to keep my white walls white, and I never use Bleach White, since it dries out the rubber.
