Its as stock as I was able to restore it, since most of the parts have not been made in a hundred years. So I had to use what I could get that were as close to the original as possible. Those are mountain bike tires on hand cart wheels.

Alrighty then. A wheel and tire upgrade has become popular over the last 1.13 centuries.

Maybe it would be compared to Donald Duck's car instead, since its tyres have bigger sidewalls while donks are fitted with low-profile tyres that look more like a slice of duct tape wrapped around the edge of an oversized pizza pan. |

This is my friends '39 Pontiac Chieftain. While its been smoothed and customized. Its still not a truly an "aero" car. So I figured I'd throw some pic's on here.

Though it might not be the most aerodynamically-enhanced ride, it would be quite unfair to label it as unaerodynamic. You know, the '30s were the time that manufacturers started to get more seriously into the field of aerodynamics.
