The Tube Type radial I had was most likely NOT an original tire as the car
was very old and rusty when I got it. it was white wall and I think a
sears tire.

two options, regular or whitewalls. At some later time, radials

With a tube in it? Only one out of the four? Was this as originally
sold or is it possible that one tire was replaced under warrantee?
Pretty wierd! Tube type were MUCH more common back then.
