Re: [AMC-List] new member; new to AMC, have a '61 Rambler Wagon

[Michael Pell <mjpell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes it was white from the factory.  The previous painter didn't go to 
great pains to cover all the white.

Thanks for the tire size.   That's what I've been after.  The tire 
conversion chart allowed me to get pretty close, and I figured on 
finding  175/80, so this confirms it.

Thanks!
Mike
