Not sure if the all black sedan is yours, I'm gonna try Wayne Carini's dad's ole trick (Chasing Classic Car Fame) and paint a silver pin stripe around the outer edge of the tire on the side wall about an 1/2" to 3/4" inside of where the tread pattern starts on the sidewall. He did it on his 33 Lincoln and it looks "killer", especially on a all black car!!!!

Pictures were taken of the same car about 6-7 years apart. Those Coker 600 x 16 www radials were purchased ~ 2005 and made a huge difference in handling as compared to the bias ply Firestone bw's that were on this car when purchased. The bw big/little Diamondback radials were originally purchased in 2006 for my traditional hotrod project, but just for fun I put them on my fordor sedan to see how they looked....and I loved the look. They stayed on for ~ 3 yrs that included a 7,200 mile x country tour. Then in 2014 I switched back to the Coker www's mainly because the Diamondback 750 x 16's on the rear were too tall for the 3.78 gears I had installed, and were definitely too tall for the 3.54 gears I recently installed. I would really like to get a set of the Coker Excelsior bw radials to replace those www's that are on there now, but need to come up with some $,$$$ and maybe sell those Coker www's.

Hi Everyone. Regarding JM's photos from post #16.

The blackwall tire photo is from Florida, at one of Vic's Barner's Bash Picnics. The one with the whitewalls is taken in Marlyand. One thing that throws you off a little is the older Florida photo he's got a curved stem mirror on the passenger side, and in the newer Maryland photo he's switched to the straight stem mirror.

The car really looks different with the two combinations, actually it looks great both ways, but I'm liking the blackwalls for my next purchase for my '35 with tires from 1984.
