Based on the concrete stairs and the steep angle. The house is there but now behind two others.

Business Coupe

Submitted by JohnBraungart on Sun, 04/26/2015 - 8:33am.

Was this the so-called "salesman's coupe" for its ability to carry a lot of samples in a huge trunk?

Weird measurements

Submitted by jwp on Sun, 04/26/2015 - 1:03am.

105mm is about 4.134 inches (i.e., close enough to 4 for tire purposes); but 610mm is about 24.016 inches, which is pretty far from 32 inches.

[24 inches is the rim size for a 32x4 tire (32 minus 4x2 equals 24). - Dave]

Shocked by the narrow whites

Submitted by bohneyjames on Mon, 04/27/2015 - 12:25pm.

I thought narrow whitewalls were a new thing when they suddenly (re)appeared in 1962. Apparently not.

Tire size

Submitted by BillyB on Sat, 04/25/2015 - 4:25am.

The tires appear to be 32x4 (4 inches wide on a 32-inch rim). Does anybody know what the 105 / 610 number represents?

[Size in millimeters. - Dave]
