Period Whitewalls
I remember somewhere reading a discussion on what type of whitewall was period correct for FB/EK's but cant find it. I do recall some suggestion that thin whitewalls didn't come into existence till well after this and that the thicker flapper type/size was more correct for our buses. I did however run with the thin whitewalls for my FB by choice & looks but I always have wondered what really was the go.
I stumbled across this pic that suggests the thin whitewalls were indeed period correct for our buses.... maybe. Not sure if I see an EH wagon in the background but I'm guessing mid 60's.
What's everyone's thoughts?

Re: Period Whitewalls
I have a set of chromies with thin whitewalls that I used to run on my ute purely because I can't justify spending $400+ EACH for wide whitewalls
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

$400 ea Bloody hell. I never realised they were that much. I must be an instinctive tight arse after not even contemplating going down that path. lol
