Maybe a joint effort. To reinforce the idea of special white walls and what the Tire company's might do check out this picture of the 75 pace car with FREE SPIRIT in raised Blue letters'on the 2 Real Pace Cars at Indy not trying to hijack the thread Marty Edited April 4, 2020 by MRJBUICK (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure who exactly he was referring to. I thought of you and @Centurion in particular while I was looking over the car, glad you caught this.

60FlatTop Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 That's probably why I like the Park Ward style. There have been few times that I haven't closed the door on a post war Proper Motorcar and didn't think to myself "Ah, a Roadmaster is a fine car". Quite like the Duke of Windsor.
