difference years ago in J528 and J396. J528 had the 17's and J396
had 19's and was a much nicer driver.J540 also had 17's and should have had the 19's. The 750x17 tires were available from Sears and the 700/750x19 were unobtainable from any source we had in the 1950's
and that would be a reason for the 17" wheels.

And, my experience is most well kept original cars do have a better feel (perhaps front ends tend to be better set up ? most people hate chipping paint on 100 point cars from torque on bolts and/or putting them on the alignment rack, so they do not).
