disabled modeler Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 The 65 Chevelle wagon kit had them in the issue before the newest reissue. Being a factory stock mostly kind of guy white wall tires in 78 and 70 series width tires are always an issue here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW93 Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Mark, would that be the Super Wagon Kit that had the Retro label on it? I believe it is kit# AMT701.Those would be the narrow whitewalls, correct ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Barrow Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 49 Mercury has wide whites. 62 Bel Air Northwind has narrow Have to be careful as some of the new reissues with "pad-printed tires" have the old solid Firestone Supremes and not the Parts Pack tires. .

I do not have the last issue of the Super Wagon kit but the others I had all had the same tires your asking about....there not very wide but there white walls just the same. I always find I need them for my builds and restorations...be nice to find the wider ones like a 70s series tire width.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
