Now we showed you a bit about
Packard Tires earlier in this thread. These were for bicycles and cars and we bet that Packard fans didn't know about them.
So here from our extensive collection of
Western Auto catalogues (and we have hundreds) is an interesting cover featuring what else?
You got it. Packard tires again. Ask and we'll post the year.
Western Auto stores sold
Peerless brand bicycles and later, famous
Western Flyer bicycles.
While most tires for
Western Flyer bicycles were
Davis brand, yes, some
Peerless and
Western Flyer bicycles got
Packard tires!
So. It was possible to have Packard tires on your Peerless or Western Flyer OR your Packard bicycle!
And while bicycle people online will swear to you that the 1980s Carlisle bicycle tires with Indian heads on them are somehow"prewar"you know this is absurd. That is... IF you know about
Packard Tires and
Pharis Rubber Company. Why? How?
Hmmmmm...
Oh... as often in this thread, original literature supplied from the files of
National Bicycle History Archive of America (NBHAA.com).
