Yabba-dabba-DOOOO!!! I suggest you check the front end alignment. Something doesn't look quite right.

By the way, what you now possess was the 1928 Chevrolet prototype for that year's model until Sloan saw the new Model A. Then it was back to the old drawing board for GM.

That's actually an advanced design because you don't have to worry about camber, caster, or toe-in.

The biggest advantage is when you need to replace the tires you only have buy two! I recommend you choose Goodrock tires for best results.

Firestone might be more correct for a hot car like this.

I always thought this was the way to go - concrete tires and rubber roads

They put a lot of rubber (from used tyres) into our roads these days.
