Got your private message and have had time to research it. The standard tire size for 1966 Cutlass convertible was 7.35x14 bias ply. An airconditioned car or one with oversize tire option would use 7.75x14 bias ply. Blackwalls were standard, whitewalls an extra cost option in both sizes. Think Coker Tire has both these sizes in BFG Silvertown, Firestone and USRoyal reproductions though they can be pricey. For a car that will be driven at all, I'd forgo a few judging points and install radials.<P>I don't have exact dimensions on where the Cutlass script was positioned, but on the Cutlass and Supreme series cars the script was located on the quarter panel or rear door, just a few inches in front of the rear wheel opening and above the body sculpture line and side molding. F85 and 442 had their scripts at the back edge of the quarter, with a louver (442) or "V8" ornament on the front fender on 330 equipped cars. 6-cylinder cars didn't have it.
