Rambler ? Spare Tire Kelsey Hayes Rim Firestone Deluxe Champion 6.95 Tubeless on 2040-parts.com
Port Carbon, Pennsylvania, US
Up for auction this week we have what I believe may be an original spare wheel and tire for a 1960's Rambler. The bolt pattern measures 4 1/2". The tire is a Firestone size 6.95 - 14. The tread is like new. Some of the information on the tire is as follows: FIRESTONE DELUXE CHAMPION 6.95 TUBELESS REPLACES 6.50 - 14 4 PLY RATING 2 PLY 000NN934 MADE IN USA 174 - UR BD 35663-3. The tire does not hold air. Minimal dry rot. The rim iis a Kelsey Hayes as it has a KH on the one raised area near the lug holes. It looks like all it would need is a new coat of paint to make it look like new for a show car. A tire shop could probably fix the leak so that the tire would hold air again. Great to have for that original AMC Rambler.
A rare and hard to find item nowadays!

Well, that little spat has now reached the High Court in London. But it’s not good news for Tesla.
What We Drive: 1963 Pontiac Star Chief
Fri, 13 May 2011I wouldn't say it was a sad hunk of Detroit iron, but the 1963 Pontiac Star Chief definitely looked lonely when I discovered it in a Michigander's backyard while delivering pizzas. It wasn't covered, and there was no For Sale sign, but I could tell it needed a home. The paint on the side of the car was in good condition, as far as I could tell.
