jay 1966 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I bought my 1933 olds back yesterday. I need to replace the tires and torn about replacing the whitewalls or putting black walls on the car. I like the way it looks with the white walls not sure how it will look with black walls.

alsancle Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Negative on the whitewalls. Black bias ply would be my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickelroadster Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 The only opinion which should matter would be your own. You are the one who will have to live with the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stephen48 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Looks better with blackwalls in my view! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick60 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I'm a big fan of wide whites, only on cars of the late forties through 1961. I think cars of the twenties and thirties should have black wall tires. Your car looks great with the new tires. Just a great looking car with the proper thirties look. Can you post additional pictures of the car? Do you know the history of the car? Thanks. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay 1966 Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 As far as the history of the car, I bought it from a guy in Connecticut who had purchased it in the early 70s. In 1974 it was back on the road and he owned it until about three years ago. He purchased it right over the border in Rhode Island. Somebody had been using it to commute back and forth from Rhode Island to a University in Connecticut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Hubler Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Looks wonderful, and I'm thinking that the blackwalls are very nice on this car. Now if it had been painted black, would you go with the same decision? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay 1966 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Yes I think an all black car with black tires would really look nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
