Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada		Probably P235-75R15 would work well. I would recommend Diamondback. They will make the whitewall any width you specify. https://www.dbtires.com/tires.html

Location: Under the X in Texas		We are SIXTY years since the car received a set of wheels at the factory. What has happened since? Measure the width of the wheels you are going to mount the tires on. There is a more than good chance they are not the OEM wheels that came on the car. Then talk tires with someone at Diamndback. Tire width is not the main concern. Tire DIAMETER to match original is more important for handling and mileage and braking.

I didn't know about Diamondback when I bought P235-75R15 narrow whitewall minivan tires for my 1956 Dodge on 15 x 8 cop car wheels. I had to trim a bit of the rear inner fender lips to make sure that there was no rubbing.
