On Shorpy:
Today’s Top 5

Chalk and cheese

One with a come hither look, the other daring you to step any closer.

Tread Darkly

My father used Kiwi shoe polish to keep his tires nice looking, and frowned mightily on my lazy use of "tire black". Which was a paint-like stuff I bought at Western Auto. I spilled it once in the garage, thus ending my usage forever.

Tire Size

Today you have to get on your hands & knees with a flashlight to determine what size your tires are. Here you can read the size from 10 feet away!

Or as Elwood Blues would say

"The new Oldsmobiles are in early this year."

Black tires!

They must have Armor-All'd them
