<VV> "A Stinger With Whitewall Tires?"

[John Howell]

Carl,

I agree with you about the whitewalls, you see most of the people that 
like blackwalls are too young to remember that back in the 60s and 
earlier most people that had blackwalls either couldn`t afford 
whitewalls or was
just too cheap to buy them. Nowdays the younger people think blackwalls 
are something new.
I read your last sentence about bringing back the exciting color in cars 
and then I see all your cars are black ?
