The roadster we bought new here (Ft. Worth) in '70 did have bias ply 
tires. AFAIK, that's the way Datsun shipped the cars, although I'm sure 
many dealers changed them to radials. We took the car the way it came 
being struggling college students at the time.

Sorry that our Hawaii correspondence wandered onto the list. I had not 
openly mentioned the possible move yet because it's just a possibility 
until/if the Navy offers me the job that I've applied for at Pearl 
Harbor. We should know if and when in three weeks or so. If we do move 
back over, we'll be taking both 510's. Anyone want to buy a practically 
new Chevy pickup (great tow vehicle) or an 18 ft. flatbed trailer?

Later, Ron
