    Description

    You are bidding on a pair, 2 (two) NOS Firestone Indy 8.80-15 tires.  Mounted but never run.  Just purchased at the Hershey Museum 2nd Chance Auction.  The tags show they were from the George S. Waltman estate.  George was a B-29 pilot in WWII, a pilot for British Air, an engineer for Jaguar & dabbled in auto racing at Bahamas, Sebring, Daytona, Bridgehampton, Lime Rock & Watkin Glen racing an Aztec Racing Morgan Plus 4 & Triumph TR4.  The tags on the wheels read shipped from George Waltman, Howard Johnson Daytona, FL to George Waltman Great Neck, NY.  I am willing to bet he bought them in 1968 at the 24hr. race at Daytona & had them shipped home.  Tires show light checking.  Should not be driven as they 50 plus years old.  Good for static display show car.  If you have any questions please call Kurt. I can also deliver to Charlotte, Hershey & Carlisle shows.
