You may want to consider either the most expensive tires on the market or the cheapest.

Let me explain. You can get correct reproduction bias ply wide whitewall tires but they are expensive.

Or you can get modern radials which are too fat. But the cheap brands are narrower than the expensive brands by over 2". The cheap tires are actually closer to the appearance and size of the originals.

The cheapest radials today are better than the best tires of 1954. Except they will dry out and crack in 5 years or less.
