Wow, TWO Chevys parked in front of a dealer in the early-to-mid '60s with BLACKWALLS?
I started driving in '65 and have run blackwalls on ALL my vehicles from sports cars to trucks (even my wife's new '76 Mercedes 280C) and was in the minority 'til the early 2000s when the Euro look became a majority taste.
My C2 runs BFG 50-series T/A's with the white letters turned INSIDE. Only I get to look at 'em when I'm working under the car.
Only one car was so classy looking it HAD to have whitewalls, an '80 Chrysler LeBaron woody wagon. And it received BFG T/A whitewalls with the T, slash and A cut INTO the whitewall, showing through as black letters..

My 67 was traded in to Bill Allens in Oct of 1970. I believe the Owner Protection Booklet went MIA at this point. QUOTE=donbayers;1589124756]Brian. What is your connection with Bill Allen Chevy in KC??[/QUOTE]
