185/65/15 they ride great. I had bigger tires on it but they didnt look right and the skirts would never have fit. I love the look the skirts give it. Now for some lake pipes!

Well, project is almost done. I took my stock '62 LeMans, threw on some wide whites, lake pipes, lowered it a few inches, and painted it Satin Blue with a White Pearl Top and added some pin stripes on the hood and trunk. I was kinda going for an "Old School" look.

Here's the White Warrior in action again while we're on the subject. Ernie Kepler has it running low 10's with a pump gas street motor and T400.

Great Pics, thanks Pontiaclady, Hooter et.al.

Not that long ago you were lucky to see three maybe five First Genners at an event like this and that was total, show cars to racers. Half the people back then didn't know what they were and the other half either loved or hated them. It's nice to see them standing tall with the best of them now

Next year should be THE year for Tempests at Norwalk. (Note to self: DO NOT FORGET CAMERA NEXT YEAR).

We should start now to organize some extracurricular events like a Photo Shoot, a Parade or something to mark the event maybe send out some heads-up 'press releases' to the Car-Crazy Dennis Gage types to get it on their radar screens.

Default RE: Norwalk '10 Tempests/Lemans

What I notice all the Tempest/Lemans at Norwalk were in the pit area. There was only 1 in the car show (black/red interior) that I recall...

Saw a red '62 wagon rolling through show area.

Speaking of wagons, anyone here going to buy the black one on ebay? Looks to be solid.

Yes you do! Everyone knows your 63 is beautiful but that 61 is AWESOME! Trade your 24' trailer in for a 48' gooseneck...
