Were white walls really that wide back then? If so Wesley’s Bleach White made a fortune!

I remember my father telling that back in the day Westley's came in a metal container and that it was so corrosive that it would corrode the cans and eat holes through them as they were sitting on the store shelf.
He always used Brillo/steel wool to clean his white walls.

My dad did the same and he’d really get upset when my mom scuffed the white walls!

And that was on a 59 and 60 Impala, nowhere near the Chrysler

Great scene!
I'm always impressed with your scenery and photography. I've got that model in maroon but I think I like your color better.photo no longer available

Ditto, John. Although mine is a recent purchase and yet to arrive. The grey paint version seems to be less common.

My Dad had a '42 & '48 DeSoto and the white wall tires were that wide
