From the 1929 Annual AutoShow in Lafyette, IN: Norm McKendry noticed that a 1929 Buick coach (likely a model 51) was sporting a set of raised white letter Goodyear tires. "I have never seen these tires on any other new 1929 Buick and none of the other Buicks in the photo have them. (Ed. Note: Buick used Goodrich.) I assume the dealer thought theses tires enhanced the sales appeal of this particular model." (Ed. Note: Only other 29’s I’ve seen Goodyear tires on were the Flxible cars that towed the Goodyear blump.) Note: late hubcaps
