Funny you should mention white walls, last month I was visiting my Mother
and I found a box of old 35mm slides of my 62 Sprite that were taken in
1963. I didn't remember that it had white walls but it did, big wide white
ones. Since it only had 1800 miles on it when I bought it I am sure that
the tires were original.
