HI VIC & ALL,  THE ESSO BUTYL TIRE YOU REFER TO WERE CALLED ATLAS BUCRONS. 
EVERYONE I KNOW CALLED THEM BUKES. THEY WERE A SOFT ADHERING TIRE & WORE FAST. I 
RAN THEM ON MY '57 FI BONNEVILLE WITH THE DEALER INSTALLED ISKY CAM, TURNING 
13.8 & 13.9. I'M WONDERING WHO COINED THE TERM SUPER STOCK? WAS IT NASCAR, 
CHRYSLER, OR THE MEDIA. I READ ARTICLE IN AN OLD NEWSFLITE ON THE '59 E , WHERE 
IT WAS REFERRED TO AS A "SURE THING" IN THE SUPER STOCK SWEEPSTAKES. DOES 
ANYONE KNOW FOR SURE?  STEVE ESTOK, PUNTA GORDA, FL
