As for tires, my '50 beetle has tires from about 1963 and they're still in great condition. Since the car is so slow I'm not too worried about them blowing. My '66 912 has tires from about 1984 that look just fine. But when I get that car back on the road I'll be replacing them.

At a concours I went to recently a guy had a 1950s Nash Metropolitan that was like a museum piece. He said the tires on it were the ones it was delivered with. The original owner had removed them, and hung them on the wall, and put on different wheels and tires for the road. He had both sets, and had modern safe rubber for actually driving, and the factory original tires for the show.
