Re: 33-correct tires and valve stem

Dell, I don't know if I can find my invoice from Lester for the last time I did new tires and tubes on the 34 which was the last year for nickel_plated stems and covers. But I was insistent on matching the old covers still on the car and had no problem buying them from Lester. The covers look like Coker's E-90500 with the F- 90501 nut. But if you have 35-36 wheels, while the are identical in all other respects the stem hole is flared for a rubber stem - you can still mount the metal stem hardware though its not quite as pleasing an appearance. And yes, of course 7:00 x 17, 6-ply rated tires.

I'll attach a photo later that may be helpful when I get back to my PC.

PS- 3 Schrader valve stem caps found in the glove box of my 34 Packard back in 1963 - I assume them to be originals and except for the name Schrader they are a match for what I bought from Lester some years ago. Just by visual comparison they appear to match Coker's E-90500.
