Yup! It appears to be the so-called "steelback" Victoria.

Just the way it should look, no whitewalls.

Reality check! That little girl is probably the only living thing in that picture that might still be alive. I guess she would be in her 80's by now but the car may still live on.

Yep Glen, I do have whitewalls on the roadster. That's the way it came when I bought it and I can't afford to replace them just yet.
But my Victoria does have blackwalls.

Yes indeed a very nice shot of a proud Daddy and child - the pup helps out also. Sweet little Vicky got them there!


I agree on the whitewall situation. If you truly look at the era photos - whitewalls are almost nonexistent. Today of course it is personal taste - for me and Mr. Wayne Carini - no whitewalls. I have noticed he has spent crazy money $ getting rid of whitewalls. I don't have $ for that............. just never put them on old cars or ANY pickup truck.


Thanks -


Be well -
