Re: {Chrysler 300} 300F original spare tire, anyone have one in their car?

Thanks for all the photos people have sent.

Now I'm wondering if that blue dot on the sidewall is a Captive Air tire valve at all. Or is it just a marker indicating that the tire is the Blue Streak?

I recalled that John Hertog took some photos of my car a couple years before he passed away.  So I looked in the reference car photos he took of my F and there is a photo of the tire that still is in the trunk of the car.  Here it is:

Well Dan, you remembered correctly that I did have all 5 of the tires that came original with my 300F but unfortunately when I made the move to my present location in Rancho Cucamonga, CA back in 2010, I just couldn't take everything with me.  But yes, the car had all Blue Streak times on it including the spare when new.  The original owner of my car was Roland Funk who has since passed back in 2000.  He used his original tires as long as he could and they were definitely well worn.  I did keep one of the better ones, however, for the spare.  But it is one of the original tires on the car.  

I can get a photo of it in the trunk where it currently resides tomorrow.

If I remember, Steve Albu has ALL the original tires for his original F.

I know it's a long shot, but does anyone have the original Goodyear Blue Streak spare tire in their 300F? I know the Ziegler car does but the picture I have of it, has an Imperial spare tire cover mounted on it. I can see the same sidewall design on the vintage racing pictures of the car.

I've got a factory picture of a Blue Streak Captive Air tire on a 300F and have never seen any documentation of them being available. I know they made later Blue Streak Captive Air tires. 

Thanks, Nick.
