GASP! Yes, I know tires get talked about ALL the time. So here we go again. 

235/75/R15 seem to be the standard replacement for the 8.2x15 bias ply. 

I ~REALLY~ want to put bias ply on my 64 Fleetwood, however, I think my front end needs a decent overhaul before that happens. I need tires before I’ll be able to overhaul the front end. SO. That being said, I’m looking for the best looking white wall radials for a decent price I can find. 

Close to the factory white wall spec, but if it’s a little wider, I won’t complain. Nothing too wide tho. 

Thanks all! 

Logan

Robb, I dont know what you are willing to spend, but i purchased Diamond Back Classics  8.25 x 15 Radials with a 1 inch whitewall and the pie crust edge @ the tread on the sidewall . I told them my original spare tire had a one inch white wall so they made it for me. The tire is the AUBURN DELUXE they where $1100.00 for four. Heck now days you spend that much putting tires on a half ton Chevy pickup.

How about some pics? Love to see that! That’s a reasonable price I think. $275 per. Not bad.  

It’s getting harder to find white walls at any price.  I bought four Cooper Trendsetters at a local Discount Tire several years ago at about $80 each (can’t remember if that was before or after the excise tax, disposal fee, warranty and other “add on s”).  

Another member posted a pic of this type of tire at:

Here’s another

Oh those look really nice! Thank you! 

Personally Id go with the BF Goodrich L78x15 dual white wall tires that Coker sells. The width is more like 8.85 and according to research these were strictly a Cadillac tire. They retail for 330 a tire. I know I certainly plan on getting a set as I think it'll look much better than the nubby Yokohama tires that are on the gal now.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?

My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.

Many thanks,

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments

Hey guys,

I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…
