Alan,

Really, you're not old enough to make that claim about the installation rate for WSW tires on '40 Fords. They were an inexpensive extra-cost factory-installed option and there are period photos galore of cars with WSW tires. And not all buyers of standard models did do so solely to save money as some likely preferred the front end styling over that of the deluxe version. Yours is a personal preference and you ought to state it as such and not suggest that somehow only BSW will be "right" for the car.
