Hi - I am wondering if anyone knows what the original whitewall width was for 1976 Buick Estate. The factory brochure shows a fairly narrow ww on the Estate. However, I believe a wider ww was optional on the Electra/LeSabre/Estate? Thoughts? ~Chuck
According to the full line brochure the wide whitewall was only available as an option on the Electra in '76. By just looking at the brochure pics the regular whitewall looks to be around 3/4"- 7/8" wide and the wide whitewall about 1-1/4"- 1-3/8" wide.
Yes, the brochure does show a fairly narrow ww. I think it just looks a little too dainty and not proportional to the mammoth size of the car. My 72 custom cruiser (my avatar to the left) has American Classics 1.6". I think they're a little too big. 1.3" might be just about right. Or maybe the dual band ww that was optional on the Cadillacs?.
