Or, why not buy inserts like these:

That broadens your choice of tires. It's very hard to see the difference between real whitewall tires and these inserts, even from close distance. (Own experiece from when I bought my car and recognised them afterwards. But I'm very happy about them anyway.)

Added pic of my car.

Those cars came with 13 inch rims. I would get some 108 rims so you can at least find rubber for it.

Scroll down to page 17. I have these on my '60 W128 coupe. Very nice quality tire and better than the Phoenix thin white wall I have on my '68 W111.
