Imperial Car Club Forum

Greetings, Imperialists.

While considering the purchase of a 1968 Imperial Crown, I came across a tire code on the body data plate (fender tag) that decoding sites online can't explain: tire code 83. Now, the Online Imperial Club website identifies a code 083 as "triple-ribbon whitewall tires". Perhaps that is the correct decoding. But what do these triple-ribbon or 3-stripe whitewall tires look like? Anyone have a photo of these tires? Also, would radial tires have been an option for an Imperial in 1968?

Thanks, folks.

Gosh that was easy, go here for photo and all the details:
