My wife said she would pay for the paint job & I could pick out the color I wanted, But she wanted WHITEWALLS !! SOoooooo----- P.S. The wheels go back to BLACK !!

Put whitewalls on her side and black walls on your side. you can only see one side at the time, that way you will both be happy. insert smiley face
 
Being new to this. I have bought so many new parts or had original parts redone and the cost is killing me. There is one real whitewall on the car and the rest were painted to look like a white wall. I am going to have to replace the tires from dry rot. I would like to have whitewalls but the cost is to much so I will be going with blackwalls just because of the cost. I am 53.
 
My model "a" came with w/w tires so I'll wait till they wear out and buy black walls....reason... price... whitewalls = 171.00 - 215.00 - black walls = 99.00
I'm 72....
 
To each A owner their own in my book... I think some A's look very shape with whitewalls; mostly cars with color and as I define it, black is not a color... So if your car is lighter in color, generally to me whitewalls looks nice/right (historical correctness aside). I for one like my Black A, all in black...

I agree with you. To me a dark car with white walls, the white walls stand out way too much. On a light color car they are now so bad. IMHO
 
I have black walls on my 28 sport coupe and white walls on my 31 slant window cabriolet. I would really like to see how the Cab would look with black walls. Will have to wait till these wear out first. I'm 55
 
Well im a year older now (51) and still like blackwalls but I will get back to all of you on my whitewallaphobia:D
 
31 Deluxe Phaeton Black walls

31 Standard Coupe Black walls

31 Deluxe Roadster Black walls

31 S/W Fordor Black walls

41 Packard White Walls
 
If I had a Packard or an Auburn or such I'd put whitewalls on but alas, I have a humble Ford.

Anything but blackwalls seems pretentious.
 
I put white walls on my phaeton in 1965 and it will have white walls on it when I'm gone! Just love them on a Model A.

Just changed my mind, put blackwalls on the doodlebug and sold the roadster so don't have to decide on that one. The coupe will keep it's blackwalls and the wheels are now black LOL
