Randserson- that is a good point it is possible that originally my car had black walls instead of whitewalls but I have no real way of knowing. I personally like the whitewall look much better and that is what it had on it when I bought it. It may not be 'original' but it's original to the way that I purchased it. But you are probably right for the majority of Deluxe's having black walls.
I do want to stay as close to the side of originality as possible even though the extent of "showing" will be parking in the grass at local rallies. But with the exception of the fuel pump there's nothing that has been done on the car that prevents it from returning to it's 'original state' in 20 minutes time. Yes, it's fair to say that already the car isn't original because of the fuel pump but if I had the original one it would be wearing it.
I'm sure there may come a day where bias ply may not even be available anymore (or incredibly expensive)as radials have become such a trend. In the mean time I'd like to take advantage of maintaining the look I have always known it to have.
Talking about originality I wonder if it did come with black wall tires would it still have come with radials or would they have been black wall bias ply?
