racelane Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Here is a picture of my '90 convertible with my recently purchased BF Goodrich Radial T/A 's and 1 before the swap. I know some folks don't like the white letters, but I happen to love them! So there! :P And I really need to take some pictures with better backgrounds than out behind the shop!

Ronnie Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Nice looking Reatta! I like white letter tires. I have them on my 1999 Blazer. I see you have a luggage rack on the trunk lid. I think that is the first one I've saw on a Reatta. Reminds me of the old days when I drove MGs. Some of them had a luggage rack on the trunk lid.

2seater Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Your car, your choices, and that's the way it should be. Good looking car, but I agree a different background for a glamour shot, wouldn't hurt :) I had a luggage rack on a Mercury Sable a long time ago, and I always thought it added a nice touch that was uncommon.

Frogware Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Very Nice! Was the luggage rack a factory option or did you add that yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racelane Posted September 14, 2017 Topic Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Thanks guys! I think it cleans up very well! That rack was on it when I got it. It was my father in law's car. He always drove Corvettes until he spotted this Reatta at a dealership. He had to have it. He passed away about 16 years ago, and my mother in law asked me to get that car out of her garage. Sell it, take it, just get it out of here! I decided to keep it! It still spends the majority of time in a garage and only comes out on nice days. Glad I kept it!

rmoduser Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Stunning and good looking one indeed. What rims did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racelane Posted October 24, 2017 Topic Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 Stunning and good looking one indeed. What rims did you use? Thank you! Those are the rims that were on there from day 1. Or at least since I took ownership about 17 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES89 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I'm confused but while the wheels are in great condition they are original Reatta wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racelane Posted October 25, 2017 Topic Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 I just purchased new BF Goddrich tires and put them on the original rims. Because I wanted raised white letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jglawnyc Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Your Reatta looks fantastic....the raised white lettering is appropriate because of the sportier nature of the car, and somehow the black side molding ties in with it for a great overall look, luggage rack is great too. Question....have you ever actually used the rack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question....have you ever actually used the rack? Thank you. I think the tires look good too! I think when I first got the car, I put a suitcase on it for a weekend trip, but then I wound up fitting it in the trunk. So no, I guess I have not actually travelled anywhere using the rack.

Frogware Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 So just today I was driving around to a relatives house and I came to a light to make a left turn (Two turning lanes). To the left of me I could see a car but wasn't paying attention. Well the light turned green and after I made the turn this Silver Reatta with a luggage rack drives past. NOTHING!!! Not even a wave or anything, I honked but they just ignored me and kept on driving. I really got excited for a SECOND thinking I might have a Reatta buddy. Another One Bites the Dust I guess. But from what I could see it looked in good shape and really looked stylish with the Rack on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racelane Posted November 2, 2017 Topic Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 I've gotten the cold shoulder too from other Reatta drivers. Some people just aren't aware of the cool, rare little car they're driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
