Hi All,

I recently bought a car that came with a space saver spare wheel/tire. I was wondering if you could share details of its origins? Value? Option RPO (if applicable)?

Date appears to K-1-9-8-17 or Kelsey Hayes, Michigan Plant, 1969, August 17. Original paint throughout.

Thank you,
Dan

I think the code could be for 79 also? Might be a date on the tire.

Dana, from what I've studied, the &quot;K19&quot; in a triangle shape indicated 1969 date and the &quot;K19&quot; in a straight line indicates 1979...
