VCCA Home Forums CLASSIFIED ADS PARTS - Wanted Looking for an original 20's-40's balloon tire

I'm trying to track down an original balloon tire for a museum display. Year and condition isn't too important. We just need it to say "balloon" and be original so we can illustrate the concept. We're also on the hunt for an original Goodrich Cord and possibly a Fisk Red Top if anyone has one of those. Thanks!

Hello Jonee,

Noble cause. I sometimes take my rim spreader, and a tire to car shows as a lesson on how to change a tire on a '28/'29 Chevrolet. It is just designed as an educational tool to get people talking. You might go over to the AACA.org web site, or the HCCA.org site. You can post on both of those without being a member. If you cannot get onto those sites send me a PM and I will post for you.

Thanks Art! I have made some posts on those forums. Tires are definitely an under appreciated aspect of automobile history. Our aim is to present an overview of the advancements in tire tech made from the very early days to the present.
