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.
