All these cars look best as they were born, especially yours.
Hmm...as they were born??
MINE was born, according to my data card, with
white wall tires. And in
countless renderings and drawings of the W113 I have from the personal collection of Paul Bracq, which includes many W113 variants never built as well as blueprints, etc. we should note that
without exception, the W113 is presented with white wall tires. Here is but a small sample...
So, we know that many here do not like white wall tires, and that's fine. But a large number of US cars "were born" with them, and the stylist/designer Mr. Bracq always rendered this car with them.
Therefore I offer that this car was not meant to have blackwall tires exclusively, and indeed based upon renderings of the designer a strong case could be made for large whitewall tires...
