OK, lets start at the beginning.

When the car was first delivered, from some research I did, the factory owner's manual from 1974 recommends 165HR15, 185/70VR15 or 215/60VR15. A 205/60-15 would work as well.

If you are out to win concurs, you can go to the Coker tire web site and find period correct looking tires in the correct sizes (bring your wallet).

If you are looking for modern tires, and since you are not looking for the ultimate in performance, something like a BFG Radial TA in a 205/60-15 or 215/60-15 would not be a bad choice.
