Stupid Tire question for a 71'

1971 Plymouth Fury tire question

Hey guys, got a question for you all. Right now my 71' Plymouth has new tires on it, but once I get the car to look more presentable I plan on trying to get a more vintage look. I have a 4 door Gran Coupe (silly name since it really is not a coupe). No, it is not a muscle car with that 360 in it, but I really like the Polyglass 70 tires.

I heard someone say these sedans originally had white wall from the factory, can anybody verify that statement?

Would Black Polyglass tires work for a 1971 Plymouth fury, I like the all black with white lettering. Was this an option for 71'.

Most likley a stupid question and no I have not looked in the FSM, dont think there is much information on tires.

Thanks

Jon

I figured I would make you proud.

Sport Fury got Whitewalls, GTs had RWL. From the brochure:

Do you think the 4 door model would look stupid with black walls?

My father loved them that way.

It depends on what you're after for a "look" to your car. If you're after a stock resto, then you need whitewalls in my opinion. In my opinion, a low rung Fury I would look okay without whitewalls, whereas the more posh Sport Fury needs them...that's how it was. The car needs to make you happy, though.

Blackwalls are fine, regardless of your wheel choice....go for it!

Go for it....it'll look great!

Thanks, I think I will go with the Blackwalls!
