Factory manual request, W/W tires

[Ross Klein <tailfins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan,

Firestone makes a tire with a 1 1/2" whitewall, the FR 721. I have a set on
my '78 NYB, and am very satisfied with them. I am also planning to install a
set of 721's on my '69 Cadillac Convertible. A friend of mine has two
Sinatra Imperials (82?), one of which has the Firestone 721 radials, and it
looks great.
