Hi
      Just had to add this...when I finished redoing my '57 Dodge I wanted
widewhites
for it, since none were readily available at the time (1975) I went with a
set of "Portawalls"  I found at a local auto supply .Looked great for the
first day...had four flats the following morning.... put on a set of General
bias plys that I had the whites buffed out on (to increase the width) after
that. Eventually got my widewhites.

63 Dodge
