White sidewall lettering was all the rage in the 1960s on muscle cars.
As someone else mentioned, it really depends on the sidewall profile. Thinner sidewall -> smaller letters (or better yet, no letters at all). That sure is a gorgeous car BTW! Amazing what losing the B-pillar does to enhance the looks of a car.

That's a 1967 Rambler Rebel SST. I had one in college but it was a different color than the one in the photo and it had a vinyl top. It had a 343 cubic inch (5.6 L) V8 with 280 hp, and an automatic transmission. 0 to 60 in a blazing 9 seconds, with a top speed of 110 mph. It was a nice car.
Its a theme by RWB and emulated by ricers. Stenciling or tyre bombing. I see a lot of young guys with their mustangs, challengers etc with overly stenciled tires in the bay area. http://stereostance.com/cars/trendin-tire-stencils

Michelin billboards, Oh yeah!....on a track car....sponsored by Michelin....which is paying you for their placement...or giving you free tires, or, well Ummm no.
The Michelin yellow lettering with blue background has always looked good on track cars. A small emblem with that layout could be OK on my Michelins, but not appliques, factory.
They used to charge more for the raised white letters as well as whitewalls. Poverty tires back then were blackwalls.
Taste evolves, if you wait long enough, it recycles.
Not for me. Even on my trucks, I opted for black versions or had the white letters mounted on the inside. On my race car, I did not care--and neither did tire company sponsors. They DID care about the body decals, though.
