1962 White Wall Tires

[Mopar_Mudder]

I am looking for new tires for my 62 Crown. Does anyone know what the original white wall width was on them?

From the Imperial pages on the internet...Wide white walls as we know them were last offered on 1961 models. By 1962 the industry as a whole switched to the narrower 1" or 1 1/2" white stripe tire and we've played with different widths ever since, nearly going wide again in the late '70s with the Goodyear Arriva and Uniroyal Steeler Radials and their nearly 2" white walls. My opinion...cars without white walls look naked. Below is what I have on my '62 300......
