White wall Tires for C-Bodies

[Fratzog]

X 2 for me. Cooper Trendsetters under $500 for 5 out the door.

Pics please with them installed...

Okay. Here ya go.

You know what's interesting?
I just learned that the 300 front fenders had their own stamping....

The tires look great, I've said it before, the shoes make the man, and tires and wheels make the car.... very nice

One of the few sets of rims that work with white wall tires. Very nice.

I like the Magnums on Slabs.

I am really pleased with the way the car looks now.
It is very gratifying to have so many people, wherever I drive the car, tell me what a great looking car it is.
I didn't get that reaction with the original old ugly 14" steel wheels and those horrible, blue-painted wheel covers.
I just wish so many of them would quit asking me what kind of Lincoln it is !!
But I guess its the same thing as my 67 Cougar.
Many people have pulled up next to me and asked "What kind of Mustang is that?".

 

[1978 NYB]

That combination looks great on your car. Happy motoring!

 

[polara71]

What kind of Mustang? How many kinds are there?

 

[wihaltom]

My point exactly !! It's either a Mustang or it ain't.
And a Cougar ain't a Mustang!
I think they are the Mustang's more affluent cousin. :laughing4:

They both said that they RECOMMEND changing tires every 5 years.

Their legal department made them say that.

 

[1978 NYB]

Recommendation was 5 years.......maximum shelf life from date of manufacture is normally 10 years. All tire manufacturer's make that claim for most tires.

 

[polara71]

we went through this discussion before. They wanna say that to sell more tires.

 

[Stormer]

Wheels look great, cool pictures too.

I liked the early Cougars, A lot classier then the Mustang.

This is a 68 GTE 427 Cougar I restored back in the early 90's

 

[polara71]

Love the Cougar better too but even a non car guy should know the difference

 

[detmatt]

I have always had a thing for early Cougars as well.

 

[1978 NYB]

I liked the first gen Cougars the best.

About the only Cougar I'd like to own. IIRC they quickly switched to the 428 cu.in. engine during production, which would make this one a rather early example.

This is my 67 Cougar. I really enjoy driving this one.
It's not a show car, just a driver but it's a load of fun.
I may take it on Power Tour next year if I get the A/C installed.
