Nothing better than a '40 Ford, but I am a little prejudiced about 40s.

Very nice looking pair of '40's.
Amazing there are so many that have survived or been restored.

It is amazing because so many became race cars and went to the oval tracks where they were destroyed.

If you buy repros. make sure the bound bottom adjustment holes are centered just like the OEM. Some are faulty.

Larry,
It was all I could get at the time, was a supply problem, Coker had just bought out the Universal Tire Company and the backlog was "years" and "unknown" if they would be making any more of the singles. This was quite a while back! I have diamond back radials on there now, much more pleasant to drive.
