Yep, kind of sickness. I always dug them. Especially the tractor treaded ones. I'm kind of hillbilly.
When I was an adolescent, in the '50's, the father of a girl I went to school with made fairly large scale models of sprint cars, or whatever they were called then, and used the tires from the ashtrays for his models. I always thought that was pretty cool......... Ray
There is a sale coming up in June 4 in Paris Ontario Canada that has a bunch of Rubber tire ashtrays in the listing. This should be the link. It is through Jim Anderson Auctions http://theauctionadvertiser.com/cgi-bin/slsearcx.pl?au=Jim%20Anderson&dt=20110604&s1=25284591
I have my grandfathers tractor tire one.I rember it as a kid sitting on his deck at his chevy dealership.It was always with in reach and full of ashes.
I got this one at a swap meet last year. Always remembered the one my grandfather used to have. Goodyear Allweather 'Super Cushion' 6.70 x 15.
They seem to go for about $15 around here, but i can't speak as to their rarity or true value. What makes on hotter than another?
I have a Firestone deluxe Champion bias ply one, good tread too .......did they make WW ones? I'd love one of those.
I think I have the one my grampa had around here somewhere,I grabbed it when we cleaned out his house after he and grandma died in 87 but cant remember what I done with it.
I have been wanting one for awhile now and don't even smoke .They should be a Must Have for the Man Cave .(I hate that term)
i have 1. the tire says Firestone steel belted radial 721 , so i'm guessing it's from the 70's~80's?????
