In the 70 sales literature all the cars with Deluxe Wheel Covers also have whitewalls with two thin white stripes. Does anyone know which (both?) of the whitewall tire options this is? F-1 Whitewall Tires G78-14 or F-2 Oversize Whitewall Tires H-78-14.
whitewalls For the 1970 model year, GM wanted the two-stripe whitewalls, so that's what all the manufacturers used since GM bought the most tires. They used the two-stripe design for all (except Cad) whitewalls, but only for 70 and 71.
Phil As much as I LOVE my Deluxe Wheel Covers, I can't say that I have any affection for the wire covers. However, given all the crap I've taken for 20 years from people who hate my Deluxe Wheel Covers, I promise to never dis your wires!! :TU: Nick
Nick, I promise not to diss your 'volcano hubcaps' if you tell me where you got your avatar, I crave Burgundy Mist....... for as common as those deluxe wheelcovers were, those wires must be very rare....
