Since there was no tire option shown, I'd say they were built with blackwall bias plies. Not recalling at the moment when blackwall radials became standard.
They were shipped 5/31/73 & sent & billed to Pontiac Motor Division, Zone Company Car at code 325-997 in Portland Oregon. MSRP was $5060.75, but they were sold as 25% discounted cars.
F60X15 White Letter Tires were standard equiptment on the '73 Trans Am. My guess is that they blacked out the lettering on the tires of one of those cars. In fact I'm not sure if Firestone even producted a blackwall version of their 60 series wide ovals at the time.
