After reading all the above comments from so many, I'm going to point to those with not so favorable comments about whitewalls on Model As and say this to each of you:

No soup for you
No soup for you
No soup for you and you and you and....not soup for you either!!!!!

Good Morning Ford Barners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank God you have a sense of humour Mitch , I was a bit worried that you might come gunning for me with that Tommy Gun you have on the front seat in your avatar. Was thinking of hiring a personal bodyguard.
Asked wife to check my Life Insurance was paid up to date.

From what I've seen in movies, padded cells have white walls.

Our 31 roadster has whitewalls (had them when I got the car). In my opinion, they look great. Our 29 Phaeton has blackwalls, which will be replaced with blackwalls. Our classic Chevy's have whitewalls. Our tractors and pickups have blackwalls.

That should resonate well with all factions.

RIOT BREAKS OUT IN PLEASANT VALLEY

API. A riot began today when a group of Whitewall Supremacists happened across a rival gang of Blackwall Militant's cars parked at a local ice cream parlor. The conflict, at first taking place inside the establishment, quickly reorganized outside in the parking lot where the heated debate became violent with both factions brandishing tire irons. "They were installing portawalls and painting tire black on each others vehicles like nobody's business" reports one eyewitness.
The riot was quelled when local authorities appeared on the scene and made several arrests.
Among the charges will be defacing state property as some of the participants sprayed white stripes on the squad cars normally black tires.





SUSPECTED CAR PARTS RING INVESTIGATION

UPI. Police found signs of some sort of struggle evidenced by many hastily made very narrow tire tracks in the dirt and a pile of obsolete six volt auto generators and alternators. Police suspect this to be yet another gang related act of violence and retr

Heard about that Pleasant Valley incident in reply #110.

Also, one investigating policeman later went behind the ice cream parlor to pee & he saw all of these empty cans & containers in the back of an old abandoned 1930 "Chevrolet" pick up truck.

He later reported that these militants were not just correcting Model A whitewall tires ...... but while the group was in the ice cream parlor eating their ice cream, these militants had drained the all of the Model A detergent oil & "Prestone" anti-freeze & refilled their Model A's with non-detergent oil & pure distilled water.

What next ?????
