Hollywood Stunt Driving: "America's Safest Tire"

 

Wow--I need to get a set of those &Thanks for sharing!

 

I'll see who is the current owner of the Duesenberg, looks to be from around 1934. Bob

 

It would have been nice if equal pressure was placed on the Fisk tire during the flexing demo. A little known fact about the Fisk Tire Co. that they were early pioneers in portable digital devices as evidenced by the IPad type device used by the exec. to illustrate the technological developments of the tire.

 

I remember going into a local tire shop about twenty years ago had they had a advertising dimply model of the "time to retire" lad about four feet tall. Asked politely what it would take to let me take it home. They would never sell. A checked back about a week later and it was gone! Never sell???

 

Years ago I sold a Fisk Tire ad on "that auction site" to a fellow whos last name was Fisk. I asked if he was related, turned out his Grandfather was the kid in his pajamas in the original ad. Bob

 

Now that's cool.
