Whitewall tires were so popular in the sixties. At the end of the decade, almost all the small cars came with them as a cheap way to dress them up.

Satin black, lake pipes, scallops, pinstriping and white walls all make for one kick arse lead sled!
Although the light was completely wrong to photograph this old hearse there was no way we could stop and look at it without taking a few photos.
a few preview shots of some new pieces i'll be showing with white walls at the aqua art fair in miami this week.
I find this sort of opportunity irresistible. A poster had been removed from the traditional whitewall around a Church and it's immaculately maintained graveyard. The remnants, colours and the wall texture form an interesting pattern for me.

Many European cars came to America with whitewall tires but you don't see many owners continuing with them.

This was our first new car since 1950. Actually it was a nice little car. Large on the inside for a 6'2" driver who did not have to look through a distorted curved part of the windshield, and small on the outside so that the little lady could park it easier. But....good thing we ordered the bumper guards with it. They seemed to get replaced often enough.
Between 1950 and 1955, we had become a two car family with the addition of an elderly Pontiac. After driving our 1950 Plymouth with a six-cylinder flathead, low compression engine, the Pontiac, although an older 1947 model, had 25% more horsepower and seemed like such a powerhouse. It was the first eight cylinder car the family had owned.
In the 1940s and 1950s, people just didn't go into debt. However, a substantial promotion just before 1950 made us feel like millionaires. We splurged by buying a new 1950 Plymouth and a brand new house, where the Rambler is sitting. The house had a whole three bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, and a fenced backyard for the kids. We had to use a combination of FHA and VA financing to buy it. The house was $6000 and the lot was $1200. Who would have ever thought we'd be rich enough to afford that kind of a dwelling?
We may have gasped from time to time under the load of heavy payments for both car and house, but still managed to raise two children and even pay for braces at $30 a month. That $30 a month was half a house payment. You sure could buy a lot more for your money back then.
At the end of 1955, the 1956 models were out, completely restyled, with then-new wraparound windows. The '55s became a drug on the market, which priced that little Rambler where we could buy the most deluxe model. It included Hydramatic transmission, whitewall tires, and a genuine wood decal on top of the passenger windows that surrounded the entire rear window. Okay, the wood wasn't real, but it was an honest-to-God genuine decal. Laughable today, that was high living for us. The poverty of the Depression was still fresh in our minds and those of our neighbors'.
Going through my hard drive and editing old photos and posting them.
