I'm sorry about the Goodyear Firestone debate.  I was wrong my grandfather was the voice of Firestone and that just stuck in my head.  Through the help of a lot of people I now believe 1633 still exists. Going to be going through my parents garage soon.  Any picture or artifact I find I'll post it here.  None of it is or will ever be for sale.  But I'll make sure everything I find is public.  All of it will be saved for my two daughters and hopefully they will cherish it as I do.

Tirestones are not a sin - just unusual in Shelby discussions. My wifes grandfather spent over 20 years making their tires in South Gate - https://www.laconservancy.org/issues/firestone-tire-and-rubber-plant  https://www.laconservancy.org/locations/firestone-tire-and-rubber-plant

You need to keep the memories. This is about all she has of his.

Firestone wasn't the biggest tire plant in LA that was Sampson (which was bought by UniRoyal) the outside (over 1/4 mile) wall of the plant was saved and surrounds an outlet mall today.  http://molineux.com/Gallery/Info/SamsonTire.aspx  https://www.google.com/maps/@34.0046676,-118.1535235,3a,48.7y,19.47h,103.41t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sz6o7sViMOWHgVZ5aIlBWAg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?hl=en
