VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1929-1932 New Old Stock Tires?

Hey dudes! Check out Item # 2401316333 on eBay. There you will see a very nice set of tires that will fit a 1932 Chevrolet. The seller is calling them "new old stock" (which is another over abused term). Actually, they are Dunlop tires which is an aftermarket replacement brand of tire, not a "new old stock" tire. The seller should have stated that the tires are "new old replacement stock". What a difference the insertion of one word makes. The set of tires shown on eBay are :cool2: though!

I heard that he also has a NOS '32 chev battery.

I always defined New Old Stock as anything old (from the approximate time that the item was typically used) that has never been used or put into service. Replacement parts, aftermarket parts, and parts produced by a manufacturer other than the original (not reproduction parts), are just sub-sets of NOS. Some call those parts NORS (new old replacement stock). Just because the part isn't the exact same part that was on the car when new, does not exempt it from being NOS. The guy on Ebay didn't claim that his tires were correct for anything in particular. He said that they were NOS from an old gas station. He was right. That's my definition, and I'm sticking to it!

Don't tires get "old" and cracked even if they are in dry storage for a long period of time. I had some brand new tires for my '57 stored away and they got "old" and cracked after a few years. :( :(

Cool! Glad that some of us know that new old stock means just that........"new old stock". The original part from the original manufacturer. Anything made from an aftermarket supplier with an aftermarket brand name, that was sold from an aftermarket parts house is "new old replacement stock". Which means that those Dunlop tires on eBay are "new old replacement stock", not "new old stock". Simple ain't it?!! The dude on eBay was incorrect in his statement and the above is my definition and I'm sticking to it too!!!

I got some tires from Wallace Wade for the 28 two years ago, I guess now they are NORS ,RIGHT? They are Garfield brand. The tires on the car are Allstate tires with red rubber tubes I guess they would be UNNOS
Used, Not New, Old Stuff.

As a positive spin to the conversation, I have seen the NORS acronym before but never knew what it meant. I understood it meant "New Old...[something]...Stock", so...I learned something from this. :cool2:

Skippie Doodle,
I guess we need to start a new abreviation NOOS. That would be New Old Original Stock. It would compliment NORS and NOS. Then we could have ANOS and NNOS and CBNORS a few others that could cover other possibilities.

All these letters are beginning to cornfuse my thunkin. Awe shucks, guess it is LTBB or caveat emptor cauze we cant teech em awl 2 use same leddrs we duz.

Hey Chipper Dipper Doodle! Ya, that works for me! We could also add to the list NOSPINOSP (new old stock parts is new old stock parts) and NORSTNNOS (new old replacement stock that's not new old stock) and so on. I see also that the dude with the "new old stock" tires changed the title of his auction yesterday afternoon because when I clicked on it yesterday morning the heading read "1932 Chevrolet Tires (new old stock)". Now, he just has the tire size listed with the term "new old stock". Some dudes must have emailed him about it since those tires are not new old stock tires for a 1932 Chevy, but NORS instead. :( :(

Also, how about NOSTIANORS? (new old stock that is also new old replacement stock). That title could be used by those that don't know the difference and then they wouldn't have to worry about it. Glad that most of us understand all of this........otherwise we would all be totally confused! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

YEP UHUH, and OK.......RU SSTVI bound Chipper Doodle? Maybe we need old JYD to come and see what real VCCA folks do! ( and brang some of those LC members.)

I'd say those tires are NOS Dunlop tires. Not NOS Chevy, GM or any other auto mfg. tire. Once they are put on a car they become NORS tires.{ at least until you drive the car, then they're used.]

rod,

do they become NORS only after they've been driven on or once they've been mounted on a rim?..

epi

Give 'em HELL Skipper

Ya gotta love it!! ha ha!

Hey Mackie,
Just got back a couple of days ago from final preparations for SSTVI. I don't think that the Doggie has an old Chevy that runs except for the COE. I am sure he doesn't want to pay for the gas. He could ride with someone and experience what the rest of the club does by touring in an OLD Chevrolet.

Chip, maybe we could scrape up enough bread to send him a bus ticket, if he don't want to drive old Deisel Dan, He could do trouble truck duty, and be a imperial potentate or some other kind of a flunkie.

We get him in Texas or La. and it might cause a problem if he decided to stay rather going back to that God foresaken Left Coast area.

We could handle that though,we will just get him to eatin' hot peppers rare steaks and blowing a bugle, probably even teach him to play "Dixie! and "The Eyes of Texas"

Hey Chipper Dipper!!! Wadda mean the old JYD doesn't have a old Chevy that runs except for the COE? Wrong!!!!

First, we have Diesel Dan the COE with 200,000 miles, that goes on emergency rescues several times a year. Usually he goes to pick up Fords that are in destress or dudes from Texas that are broken down on the freeway because they failed to maintain their cars properly.

Then we have Mabel, a 1969 Impala Sport Coupe that is on the road daily, and she has gone 400,000 miles in the past 33 years that we have owned her.

Then there is the official JYD 1968 Pickup truck, Wimpy, that has traveled 200,000 miles in the past 32 years that the JYD has owned him.
And, we cannot forget about Charlotte Mae the 1932 Chevy with 60,000 miles who runs great although a bit tired. And, how about old Billy, the 1970 Impala that is also on the road everyday with over 200,000 miles.

Let's see...what else...oh yes, then there is Old Yeller, the 1972 Cheyenne that was bought new back in 1972. Old Yeller is in mint condition with only 67,000 miles and runs better than new. And, of course, there is the JYD's first car, a 1951 Chevy that he as had for 42 years, that not only runs like a dream, but loves to run on the freeway. "Sally Ann" as she is called, has 112,000 miles.

Now.... if ya total up all of that mileage, you come close to 1,239,000 miles. If that ain't driving old Chevrolets, then I don't know what is!!

Hey, Chipper Dipper Doodle, on the four cylinder forum you suggested to a fellow to contact the 1931 Technical Advisor with his 1931 paint question. Hum........ain't you the 1931 Technical Advisor or am I missin' somethin'?? Hell to get old ain't it?? ha ha! :eek: :eek:

Well then I guess we can count on you showing up to go on the SSTVI with us, we really need you, between me and them other Texicans that don't maintain their cars very well, I'll even blow up your Elvira doll with my handy-dandy compressor that blows my Dixie horns and buy you a Whataburger! The Colorado Cool-aid will be frosty too!

JYD, I thought that the 31 tech advisor was Forest Sweet, is that right?

That all sounds really :cool2: , but if ya move it all to Oregon, then the old JYD will be very glad to attend! Besides, you would have waaaaaaaay more fun having the SSTVI in Oregon anyway...that is if your Texas cars will make it that far! Ya!

Skippie,
I referred to Diesel Dan (COE) in the post. You must have missed it. Now for Charlotte Mae and Sally Ann guess they also would qualify. The SST is limited to the first 50 pre-55 Chevrolets. All them others are modern iron and don't get it.

Mackie if we can get the doggie to LA we would need to protect him from the gators. You know how much gators like woof, woof, even those stringy ones.

Ya caught it huh? A little foxy to refer to the '31 TA. Wasn't sure he was a member so only gave part of the info as a teaser then let him contact the TA for the rest. Pretty sly huh?If we had access to membership list we could check to see if people were members in good standing.

Hey there Chipper Dipper Doodle: Well.......I have to agree.......the other cars that I own are modern iron, but that's the confusing part of the picture, because according to the VCCA they are "Vintage" Chevrolets. So, I guess that means that they are not modern iron after all. Now......if the VCCA was limited to Chevrolets from 1954 and older, then ya would be right about the modern iron thingy. Hum......... :eek: :eek:

Ya, I saw the part about Diesel Dan, but you said that "I don't think that the Doggie has an old Chevy that runs except for the COE" so I really had to prove ya wrong on that one since the rest of my cars are recognized by the VCCA too. And, 1,239,000 miles of driving those old Chevys ain't bad either. Ya!

LA?? I was born in LA and let me tell ya that there ain't no gators there! They are in Florida (ask Gator if ya don't believe me), so you dudes in Texas don't know which way is east and which way is west. :confused: :confused:

Ya, I caught that part about the TA. That was pretty slick on your part! You did good buddy! :cool2:

Hay JYD, what do you mean that 54 chevrolets aren't vintage? I thought we were allowing up thru 54's in VCCA. That is why the Southern Spring Tour VI is limited to four cylinders and early sixes Before 1955 when the ruined the Chevrolet and put in a forked eight that didn't work out back in the 20s!
( However it finally worked out after us old six cylinder guys showed them how to make a good one.) F#$d hasn't figured that out yet!

Who said DUCK?.... OUCH!

Oh Well never mind!

Hey Mackus Wackus! You read it wrong. It means that if the VCCA was limited to cars 1954 and earlier, then Chipper Dipper would be correct in calling every thing after 1954 and up modern iron. Gee!.....................ha ha! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Well, I call everything newer than 1954 modern iron whether VCCA does or not! I call anything new as the year that I graduated from highschool modern iron.....so what?... Can't I do that if I want to?

I like modern iron (anything with factory installed turn signals) , even ultra-modern iron
( anything with a factory installed FM radio or 8 track)

Hey Macky Wacky! So..........what do ya call a Chevy with a 12 changer CD and a television set?? :confused: :confused: :confused:
