My 1929 Coupe
I know why talk about one of your cars. But I just transfered my white wall tires and wheels from my huckster to the 1929 std coupe. I know, you don't put white walls on a 1929 std coupe! But this is a test. (besides I think they look great).
The old coupe had some nylon tires on it when I bought is a couple of years ago. These tires are typical nylon, they bump when you start up and I also found them to sort of bounce along when you get up to about 20 or 25 mph. So I wanted to try new tires on the coupe before I bought new ones. Thus the temporary transfer of the wheels and tires to the coupe. So it is a test! But the test worked great, the old coupe rolled along without a bump (will not as many)! Sorry about boring you all with my rambling on about my little 29! BTW it will be a long time before that gas pump will fill her up. But wish it could, price on it is $.319 per gallon.

Re: My 1929 Coupe
Fred your 29 looks good with those whitewalls. Somehow it makes the body stand out.

Re: My 1929 Coupe
Thanks Berry. I like your yellow wheels also. It does sort of liven a car up a bit. I kind of like the powder coated black wheels also. When I get to buying the new tires for the coupe they may just have to be white walls.

Re: My 1929 Coupe
Fred, I like the white walls on the coupe. I have spare white walls from another project and I intend to put them on my std coupe when I get it ready. There will be very few people who see the car and know that they did not come with them originally.

Re: My 1929 Coupe
Looks good. I think that whitewalls look best with dark colored wheels like black or red. I like the horse shoe over the door, it is said to bring good luck when mounted the way you have yours.

Re: My 1929 Coupe
I like the white walls as well and have them on my '30 Phaeton. I think it’s a ‘to each their own’ kind of thing...or as silly as debating the age old argument - ‘blondes or brunettes’.
Since you think they look good, what else do you really need to know! george |

Re: My 1929 Coupe
Fred, what brand were your nylon tires?
As for the whitewalls, see my avatar. I don't have a problem with them!
