New Whitewall Paint From Caswell

Recommended Posts

I love it/  Reminds me of my teenage years in the 60's.  I painted whitewalls on most of my cars.

Then discovered that gas stations didn't fix flats on the new tubeless tires, they gave them to me.  I would put boots in them and a tube and have great tread.  Then try to paint the same width whitewall so they would all match.

Worked great!  

My brother an I drove our 56 Ford to the Seattle Worlds fair in 1962 on booted Free tubeless tires with tubes.  It was FL to NYC, then west to Seattle and down the West Coast to LA, thru Las Vegas to St, Louis, Michigan, NYC and back to FLA.  We camped and visited old friends  (4 teenagers with $100 each)  What a ball!  ( I did"t paint any tires in the trip either)

I published this whole story several years ago with pictures on this Forum.
