Hi JB,
So THAT'S what they look like!!!
I've been waiting to see one!
That looks like it's be an interesting choice for some car owners!!!!
Thanks for the photos.
Regards,
Alan
I was hoping the sidewall wouldn't say SUP-R-BELT, but they still look very nice.

I’m looking forward to see how you like them. I’d like to get a set for my 72.

My grandfather was a Firestone dealer. I know they aren’t correct for my Sept. ‘68 built Corvette, but I’d like these in his memory.

Those look good!
Firestone actually sold the molds/drawings/rights to Coker. Coker is building them with their own construction in a reproduction Firestone mold.
