Most of these items came from one seller. I got six nos tires that came from a Texaco gas Station that closed in 1972. Two of the tires are G70-14 RWL Polyglas's anyone know what muscle cars they came on originally.

Fat G70X14 RWL tires were used on 1969-70-71 Cutlass 442 W-30,W-31 & 1969-70-71 Elcamino Super Sport.
The letter font determined what years.
Can you show us a photo of the white lettering?

Steve, one inch has been cut off of the bottom edge of the vertical porcelain Good Year sign. Other then that big flaw, it is near mint. Looks like someone needed a 90 degree bent shelf bracket and didn't have access to a metal brake.
Rick, thanks for the info on the tires. I'll take some pictures later today and post them.
Craig, the other side on the Bennett 76 is missing the decals.

Rick, here's the photo's. Just noticed that both tires are marked BLEM's, both have the same hot stamped code.
Even back then the RWL Poyglas's were a lot more expensive.

The gentleman called me back and sold me these cans. Even generic Canadian oil racks (for the taller Imperial qt cans) are getting difficult to find. The chrome plating will clean up very nicely on the rack.
BA bowtie logo was switched over to the round BA inverted oil drop logo in 1946. These bowtie cans are also getting difficult to find.

That tire is dated sometime in 1971.
1969 used a different smaller font,so those look to be 1970-71 design.

Thanks Rick. The seller told me they closed the Texaco station in 1972. Well at least that all adds up.

THe G70-14 would possibly fit a big block Fairlane/Torino - one size too big for the Mustangs, IMO... but maybe both of them used the 78 profile?
