Rambler ? Spare Tire Kelsey Hayes Rim Firestone Deluxe Champion 6.95 Tubeless on 2040-parts.com
Port Carbon, Pennsylvania, US
Up for auction this week we have what I believe may be an original spare wheel and tire for a 1960's Rambler. The bolt pattern measures 4 1/2". The tire is a Firestone size 6.95 - 14. The tread is like new. Some of the information on the tire is as follows: FIRESTONE DELUXE CHAMPION 6.95 TUBELESS REPLACES 6.50 - 14 4 PLY RATING 2 PLY 000NN934 MADE IN USA 174 - UR BD 35663-3. The tire does not hold air. Minimal dry rot. The rim iis a Kelsey Hayes as it has a KH on the one raised area near the lug holes. It looks like all it would need is a new coat of paint to make it look like new for a show car. A tire shop could probably fix the leak so that the tire would hold air again. Great to have for that original AMC Rambler.
A rare and hard to find item nowadays!

Infiniti to launch G37 roadster
Tue, 13 May 2008By Tim Pollard (artist's impression by Radovan Varicak) Motor Industry 13 May 2008 12:53 Nissan's upmarket brand Infiniti has announced it will build a roadster version of the G37 coupe – aimed squarely at the BMW 3-series Coupe Convertible. And the Ferrari California isn't the only folding tin-top being announced this week; the G37 will also be launched as a CC with a multi-piece metal roof that stows at the flick of a switch. Our artist's impression shows how the new open-top G will look with the roof stowed away. No official photos have been issued yet, but we do know that Infiniti's first roadster will be on sale in the US market in February 2009.
