There is a great 'A of the day' picture on the MAFCA website today.
I am not sure if it is an old period picture or not.
In either case, does anyone know from the tread patterns what brand of tire they are?

They look a lot like the 21" B.F. Goodrich that I run.

The photo is of recent (post 1960) vintage. The tires/wheels do not have metal valve stems/covers, and the running board 'Step Plate' is of the newer reproduction type. The tires (tread) look like my Firestones from 1965 or so.

The caption speaks of 'vintage' and 'original wood' - something that an original photo would not speak of.
