The original caption from this 1961 photo (by Getty Images, likely taken in England -- note the spelling of "tyre") reads: "A woman adjusts her stocking by the light of the new Goodyear illuminated tyres. The tyre is made from a single piece of synthetic rubber and is brightly lit by bulbs mounted inside the wheel rim. The Goodyear Tyre Company intend to produce the tyres in a variety of colours."
