RE: 1965 whitewall tires?

["Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks! 

Coker tires sold a friend of a friend some tires that have 2 3/8" white 
walls. Their claim is that 2 3/8" is correct for a 1965.

That width seems too wide to me, based on memory and based on pictures 
of 1965's in the original ads from Chrysler.

>From another perspective, anyone know what was the last year Mopar 
shipped cars with the wide whitewalls I associate with the 50's cars?

Thanks,
Gary H.
