<VV> 13" tires - Whitewalls

[John Howell]

        Back in the time when Corvairs were new whitewalls were 
considered to dress up a car. They were an extra cost
option, very few people didn`t want whitewalls, couldn`t afford them or 
were just too cheap to buy them.  I guess
younger people  have different taste but I still like whitewalls, I 
think they dress up older cars and if you look
at the sales brochures you will see that the stripped down cheaper 
models have blackwalls while the  upscale more
expensive models have whitewalls.  I would think that most people that 
were driving and buying cars at the time the
Corvair was new would agree that whitewalls dress up a car but it may be 
a matter of taste.
