White Walls on the Drifter

**Top Cat** · 07-20-2013, 06:54 PM

Thought our Drifter looks a lot better with the white wall tires I just had put on.
What do you guys think

Looks great. That's a nice Drifter

Should be a law that you have to put whitewalls on drifters...

Looks great TC!

PS: I'll take a fill-up at the price you have on your gas pump!

cactusjack · 07-20-2013, 07:23 PM

Yep, looks great, Tim.

Bud2rat · 07-20-2013, 07:29 PM

Looking good TC. I'm not to fond of whitewalls on anything, but those set the bike off.

Very nice!

I like them a lot. Have them on my Harley. Folks might be interested in what brand they are and where you purchased them.

What's the price? Looks like .28 9/10. I remember in south Fla when I started pumping gas for my moms car in 1965 gas was .24 9/10.

It looks great! I love whitewalls.

You are correct. The price is 28.9 per gallon.
That is the price that goggled when I made the pump the way it looked in 1955.
Here is a chart of gas prices through the years. Scroll down a little ways.
