A point of order...
The first James Bond film was Dr. No, released on Oct., 1962.
Five more Bond films were released in the '60s:
From Russia with Love, 1963;
Goldfinger, 1964;
Thunderball, 1965;
You Only Live Twice,1967; and
On Her Majesty's Secret Service, 1969. However…
Previous attempts to adapt the James Bond novels resulted in a 1954
television episode of Climax!, based on the first novel, Casino Royale,
and starring American actor Barry Nelson as "Jimmy Bond". Wiki-Bond
So you could have seen Bond in 1954, but it was more likely on the big
screen in the '60s, or a simple typo. (Memory is the second thing to go.)
All that said, bias ply tires are nothing to be nostalgic over.
