My late update on my 65 Riviera

[clill]

I’ve been on almost every Power Tour since 2001 and Goodguys tour etc . I have not needed a spare. Knock on wood

A spare tire? That's a cell phone these days....

Lol, very true... I just hope that I’m not in the boonies when it will probably happen to me.

I, along with plenty of others will eventually ditch mine. But I’ll Sweat a bit on my next long road trip.

And yes, “when was the last time you had a blowout” can be asked with nary an answer, but If you drive a lot, I’m sure you have stories to tell.

Now I’ve definitely put the pox on poor Charley

New tires aren't what they used to be -- they're MUCH better.... but a nail is a nail....

I was following KWhizz out of Denver last year when I thought I saw he had a low tire -- pulled up long side and he was about to be on the rim... The beauty of being on a tour like this - the pickup trailer was 10 minutes out - scooped him up - and off to Costco or TireXXX store -- and he was at the next stop with the rest of us.

I put runflats on the red '32 -- for this reason -- I like to drive A LOT -- but I hated the tires... so it totally wasn't worth it. Just pay AAA and have your cell phone charged...

Car is beautiful. I thought the car was just painted but it’s the original paint which looks perfect. Even the interior looks mint. Car was well taken care of. All of the trunk space I assume will be nice to have on the road trips. Have you given the car a name yet?
