Now... lets roll back to 1935 and over to Akron, Ohio. Look what they were selling at the Dollar Stores! And they don't even mention giving you one of these with a Packard automobile. Hmmmmmm...
By the way, this is a coincidence to the present ongoing (and mostly naive) endless debates about Arnold, Schwinn & Company inventing the balloon tire for bicycles.
The ad describes "Goodyear balloon tires" but the image (a rather generic one used in other ads) is a contradiction. It appears to show a boy on a bicycle equipped with 28-inch singletube high-pressure tires.
But hey... where else would you find so much Packard bicycle history? Right here.
