Period Whitewalls

[Craig Allardyce]

I remember somewhere reading a discussion on what type of whitewall was period correct for FB/EK's but cant find it. I do recall some suggestion that thin whitewalls didn't come into existence till well after this and that the thicker flapper type/size was more correct for our buses. I did however run with the thin whitewalls for my FB by choice & looks but I always have wondered what really was the go.
I stumbled across this pic that suggests the thin whitewalls were indeed period correct for our buses.... maybe. Not sure if I see an EH wagon in the background but I'm guessing mid 60's.
What's everyone's thoughts?

I have a set of chromies with thin whitewalls that I used to run on my ute purely because I can't justify spending $400+ EACH for wide whitewalls

That was my reasoning too!

$400 ea Bloody hell. I never realised they were that much. I must be an instinctive tight arse after not even contemplating going down that path. lol
