On my red coupe, what would look better gold or white pin stripe tires?

Re: Need opinions: (sting66ray)
Good suggestion, Tom, but red stripes were not available in '66, and I do care about correctness.

I agree with Jer, whitewalls should be outlawed. Americans are the only people who put whitewalls and vinyl tops on cars.

If factory correct isn't important, I would go with the redline tires. They looked REAL GOOD a '65 Rally Red I once had.

Allen, I like the Goldlines. They were only offered only in 65 and 66, and I think it's a nice way to distinguish the car from the other mid years.
