5 bias ply tires / windshield visor / '53 parts
« on: September 18, 2017, 12:48:59 PM »
When my wife and I purchased our '51 dragon it came with various other parts (some of which don't go with the car) so we're looking to get rid of them.

I will be attending the AACA fall meet in hershey and will be selling these parts there but if there's someone from here interested in any of it (especially the tires and visor) pre-show...and will also be in attendance to pick up in person and save the shipping hassle, that would be great.

I have the following:

5x Firestone Deluxe Champion white wall tires 6.70-15. They are labeled as tubeless but had tubes in all of them...which will be included as well. These tires have roughly 300 miles on them. I swapped them out for radials as I'm not entering any aaca events just yet. They were put on the car by the previous previous owner and are not new by any means. They're showing some cracking on the whitewall as you can see in the photos. I was planning to mount them on a second set of wheels and put them on just for AACA judged events but I don't have space to have a second set of wheels lying around just yet.









Windshield visor - unknown brand. It appears to be a later / universal style as you can adjust the width of the visor in the middle. It does have the center support but do not have the end supports for it so they would need to be sourced elsewhere or fabricated. It is currently in an unpainted matte black finish.






2x '53 headlight rings (with the fins on either side)

V shaped "K" front hood emblem for a '53

I believe I have more to add to this....will update when I post photos.

What is the born date on the tires??

sorry for the delayed response. date is week 23 of '04

they're old enough that I wouldn't daily drive with them but I had planned to use them for show purposes with "correct tires"

Parts listed for sale in our Forum need a price.  The born date on radial tires is important as they will lose their tread but conventional tires usually run for decades at under 50MPH.
