THE STORY OF THE;
65 YEAR OLD TIRES
UPON PURCHASING OUR '50 PLYMOUTH WE WERE EXTREMELY EXCITED TO LEARN THAT IT DID HAVE THE ORIGINAL "SUPER CUSHION GOODYEAR" SPARE TIRE ! ! OUR RESEARCH HAD INDICATED THAT THESE WERE THE ORIGINAL 'FACTORY SELECT' TIRE. WE INSPECTED THIS SPARE AND FOUNDIT TO BE IN EXCELLENT ORIGINAL CONDITION.AS WE VISITED WITH THE SELLER, HE CASUALLY MENTIONED THAT THE OTHER FOUR ORIGINALTIRES WERE STILL OUT HANGING IN THE BARN.. WOULD WE LIKE TO HAVE THEM ?WOULD WE ! ! THEY HAD BEEN KEPT OUT OF THE SUN AND WERE SOFT, PLYABLE AND IN VERYGOOD CONDITION.THESE WERE LATER MOUNTED, BALANCED AND INSTALLED ON OUR LITTLE PLYMOUTH DELUXE. WE DISPLAY THESE ON THE CARFOR THE SAKE OFHISTORY, AND IT IS THE ONLY ANTIQUEAUTO WE'VER EVER OWNED WITH SUCH A UNIQUE PROVENANCE. HOWEVER,DUE TO THEIR AGE, WE ALWAYS DRIVE AT A VERY CONSERVATIVE SPEED ANDSHOULD YOUDECIDE TO DRIVE THE PLYMOUTH ON A DAILY BASIS, WE WOULD RECOMMEND A MODERN REPLACEMENT... THIS TIRES ARE IN GREAT CONDITION BUT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED EXTREMELY FRAGILE.
TIRES IN THE 1950sHADSMALL, QUARTER INCH, SERIAL NUMBERS STAMPED INTO THE SIDE WALL. AS A FORMER EMPLOYEE OF MY FATHER'S PHILLIPS 66 GAS STATION, I LEARNED THAT FOR THE WARRANTY TO BE HONORED, THIS TIRE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER HAD TO BE WRITTEN IN ON THE WARRANTY CARD.. AND HEAVEN HELP THE ATTENDANT THAT NEGLECTED THIS IMPORTANTBIT OF INFORMATION. THE SERIAL NUMBERS FOR OUR ORIGINAL TIRES ARE EXTREMELY CLOSE IN THEIR SEQUENTIAL NUMBERS. THE ONLY EXCEPTION WOULD BE THE MATCHING SPARE WHICH WAS INSTALLED AT THE VERY END OF THE ASSEMBLY LINE PROCESS.
SERIAL NUMBERS FOR THE 5 TIRES;
RIGHT FRONT-193473
LEFT FRONT---193447
RIGHT REAR---193597
LEFT REAR-----193464
