I love the quality of the rims and tires on GL. Second to none but I do have one request, It looks like the font on the BF Goodrich tire is a tad too bold. They probably all are larger than scale so that we can read them but the BFG's could use an adjustment. The Wide O's and others look perfect.:thumbsup:

You don't see people do them much now in restoration but during the day, when redlines were big, they also had "golden rods" which was a yellow band instead of a ww or redline. Since they are seen so infrequent these days do you think buyers today would not like them on die-cast?

For me, I've always liked the redline tires, they bring back many memories when I was young. Yes, I grew up in that era. LOL I remember the gold also, but the look of red against the black tires just likes cool.

Showing my age huh?:tongue:

I was around back then too, and yes, redlines did look cool.... but I honestly recall them being much more scarce than a lot of other people seem to. They weren't that common in Massachusetts in the late Sixties :confused:

It's like anything else. It was a premium at the time and nobody wanted to pay the extra cost. It's like the Shelby Mustang. I can go to a major show and see 10 to 15 of them. Maybe never saw more than 2 back in the day running around. When people go back and fulfill their dreams, they pay top dollar and buy all the best.


Redlines of the day were indeed a premium.

I dont remember redlines being popular at all .. White letter tires were much more common.. At least in my area . I think todays trend of putting redlines on every 60's car is overkill ! The color of the car also makes or breaks the effect . Redlines on green or blue cars just dont look right ...
