I vaguely remember this ad! I was 7 at the time, but the tire torture test Is familar! We didnt switch to radials until '78 until then, we had bias ply and a pair of snow tires!😅
Cool tire ad! Thank you for sharing. Curious, what are the chances of finding the Nascar sport compact race of the early 1960's? I have a 1960 Valiant and want to hyper pak it....would be really neat to see the race between the Valiants, Falcons , Corvairs etc....
Interesting how obsessed America became over mileage and energy savings within just a few months in 73. Wonder if it would have been even bigger with social media or if it would have been less chaotic.
I'm sold. My next set of tires will be steel belted radials!
That Galaxie is almost perfect, a 460 and dog dish hubcaps would bring it home the rest of the way.
I agree, my friend had a 1978 LTD which was an ex KY state patrol car.....460 power...130mph easy with 5 aboard.
