If you're talking about an aftermarket continental
kit, it's going to be difficult to answer your question.
Cadillac never offered this as a factory option for any
year. There were a number of companies, especially
in the 50's, that offered these kits. They were also
sometimes offered by dealers as an accessory.
However, again, it was not a Cadillac product. Common
sense would dictate that the tire in the kit would be the
same size as you were running on the vehicle, but I
don't know of any way to verify that.
