My dad had a collection of glass ashtrays with rubber surrounds that looked like tiny tires...I loved to play with those things and am amazed that I never broke any of the glass. I know that one was Goodyear, but my favorite had a white tire and a company name that I had never heard of, Vogue Tyre. The non-American spelling of tire made me think this must be a British company.
This popped into my head out of the blue recently and I was amazed to find that this was/is a Chicago company! Looks like they still produce a line of "custom" tyres, but nothing in the OEM size for my Subaru. No white tyres, but they do have whitewalls and ones with white and gold rings.
Has anybody ever had Vogue tyres on any of their vehicles? Does a tyre make your car perform better than a tire?
;^)
Ashtrays are long gone, BTW...my sister sold basically everything in our childhood home (except for her stuff) before she lost it to foreclosure. She's long gone now, too.
