Car Had Racing Tires!


One scene had black wall of one tire in focus.
Labeling on tire wall listed it as being a racing tire but it had tread.
Normally tires on NASCAR are treadless and wide.
Did NASCAR race cars have tires with tread in 1977 when this was filmed?
If so, when did they go to racing slick tires?

Don't know about NASCAR in the late 70s but Satan's Lincoln Continental was truly bad-ass. Long live master car builder George Barris!
