Nice car!

Ordered a set of Hankook Kinergy 215/75/14 off tire rack White Walls , they had 7 left so figured i should grab 4 of them if i wanted a set. Thank you all for Photos and opinions, The more i looked at my own pictures, it became clear the white wall was correct, or maybe you all brainwashed me...

Now that is a Wisconsin car ( Rust ) May have been chased by that car back in the good old days

Maybe i should drive for uber ha

Hey Big John -- thank you for the transmission advice on tightening the screw on the valve body! I did that, and adjusted the kickdown and i went from the pushbutton trans not going into gear, and no 3rd gear shift, to a perfectly functioning pushbutton, and a nicely shifting transmission in all...

Better pic of blackwall

on this car with these hub caps? Opinions welcome as i am conflicted... Yes, that is black spray paint over the whitewall on the front... tire is ng anyway..

Guess not all "west coast" cars are rust free ha Cool pics - Awesome car in its day.

Still up on blocks... But still a frozen wasteland up here ha Hoping to get this squared away by the time the snow is gone

Decided to change out this decrepit inline filter while i am under the car... had a tough time getting it off, did not want to mess up the cooler lines as i am trying to get this car going as a driver without getting real deep into it from a $ perspective.. Took some heat with propane torch...

Thank you very kindly Big John -- will give it a go.

So i wanted to clean my trans pan, and change fluid on my 62 Newport with a 727 transmission.. After pulling the pan, i noticed this screw in the side of the valve body on the driver's side, shift cable side, toward's the rear of the car... there is a plate with 5 small phillip's head screws...

Looks like i found a wheel, thank you all -- And thank you finsruskw

Not sure about width, the car has 215/70/14 tires on it .. Did not know different widths are available? It is a stock 1962 Chrysler Newport.. it did not come with a spare tire so just need something in case i get a flat... ( i can find a tire up here, but not a rim ha ) Would you be willing...

No luck there... no rim available.. thank you for the lead... anyone else?
