    A friend has an original 65 convert inherited from his father, it runs on original tires. He trailered it to the 50th and drove it around the track, slowly!

    Now.............for-the-rest-of-the-story!
    The whole set of tires was on a 39 Packard. The tires were purchased in 1947. It was only the 2nd set of tires ever on the car!
      The guy drove the car to the garage.
    Needless to say it had been in storage for a long time.
    The Packard was used to transport 'the family' to the cematery. It is/was still used in local parades.
    I love the part that they were purchased at  J.C. Penny's.
    I shoulda took a picture of the Packard........it was original paint/interior/everything.
    Since it wasn't Ford related I figgered it woulda been deleted.
    Not really.... I was so blown away about the tarz I totally ignored the Packard!!

    Those tires were made in the 24th week of 1977. The DOT tire code was established in 1971. The DY tells you that the tire was made by the Denman Tire Corporation in Leavittsburg, OH. In the photo showing the JCPenney name it looks like the carcass has been recapped.
    My older brother worked in a JCPenney automotive center in the early 70's. Yep, JCPenney had auto centers just like Sears. And if a retailer bought enough tires from a manufacturer the manufacturer would put any name the retailer wanted on them.
    Michelin wanted to introduce radial tires in the US but they were not sure that Americans would accept a French tire so they made an agreement with Sears to sell Michelin tires with "Sears Roadhandler" on the sidewall instead of Michelin. Needless to say that deal between Michelin and Sears was successful.
