tires

Anyone know of a good place to get the blackwall 600-16 tires for a good price? Thanks

Might try Coker tire in Chattonooga, Tn. They got them, but they probably won't be too cheap.

It was not unusual to see 6.00X16 NDT Tires on the rear of WWII period Staff Cars during and after WWII. Many Ford and Chevy WWII Staff Cars were surplused having NDT's mounted. There were times during the war when passenger car tires were in short supply.

I always wondered if NDT's were ever on staff cars. I kinda figured they had to be. So many of the vehicles had NDT's and the jeep's had the same size. I may just try those out especially since they would look pretty good with my artillery rims. Thanks.

I can't refer you to any pics, at present, but they do surface.

Here is tires from an AVG staff car and an old 1941 plymouth.

Would you happen to be able to post the second pic bigger?

[AVG]

Here is a better picture.

[SmarT]

Great pics, thanks. I think what's interesting is just how shiny and clean the windows are in the first picture. Too bad there aren't more clear photos of staff cars.

Here is a three more staff car pictures I found.

The first one is here in the States.
The other two are AVG Flying Tigers.

Those are great! Interesting to see a two door staff car. I figured they had to be used in some ways, but you definitely don't see them much.

I really enjoyed this last picture of the 2dr with the TEXACO sticker on the side!

[SmarT]

Yeah! Makes you wonder if it was a company vehicle there that they just acquired for their own use.
