Re: Vintage Moroso tires
I had a pair like that on my Nova, late 60's/early 70's. Lost one when a front wheel bearing failed while flat-towing back from New York National one Sunday on Sunrise Highway!
I remember that the sidewall did have a big "WTB" on it so, like Mark mentioned, that does explain the Wholesale Tire and Battery connection!

Re: Vintage Moroso tires
I still remember the day that Dick looked at me and said Jim who would buy a tire with an Italian guy's name on it?
He had to place what in those day's was a large order to have them made and I told him his wife my want to kill him since in those day's money was tight. Long story short he place the order and sold all of them!! Jim Hill http://www.nostalgicracingdecals.com |
