RE: 1965 whitewall tires?

[Brian Schlump <jsbs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just looked over all the original literature I have for the full line 
of Chrysler, Dodge & Plymouth cars for 1964, and the only ones shown in 
'64 are the thin ones (i.e. 1 to 1 1/2" wide) so it would be highly 
doubtful that they would go back to supplying wide whites in '65.
