Welcome to FEBO from the desert! Nice Plymouth convertibles!

Thank you

aboard. Nice car.
I think those tires were discontinued several years ago.
If the picture is current, please check the tire's DOT numbers for age before taking out on the freeway.

Completely agree and no cheap rattley console!

That is unusual. Looks way better without the console. However as a driver I do prefer the console for the actual driving part. Otherwise, way more pleasing to the eye without!
Would this car have been ordered without the console?
Was the console part of the bucket package?
@jim8503 have to ask, did your ride come with a build sheet?

 

[jim8503]

It does have the build sheet
It is a one owner and did not come with a console

Yes I have to do that
They were made in 1999

 

[moparleo]

If they were made in '99 you don't have to check the DOTs. Time for a new set.
Getting harder to get RWL tires anymore. I personally do not care for the current craze with "Cooper Cobra" lettering.
They also happen to make the Mickey Thompson RWL tire which is much more period correct. Otherwise it's BFG T/A's
Goodyear and Firestone repros.

I agree, replace those tires immediately!
One of those pop and it could cause thousands of dollars of damage!
