Dodson who remained its chairman[3] until his death in March 1996.[6] Vogue Tyre invented the whitewall and patented the gold stripe in the 1960s for additional style.[4][5][5] Vogue Tyre has been providing custom high-end luxury tires for the last 100 years. Over the decades, Vogue Tyre has provided custom built tires to professional sports players and movie celebrities like Garry Cooper, Marion Davies, Mervyn LeRoy, Dolores del Río, Paul Whiteman, Kid Rock and more recently Snoop Dogg.[6] HistoryEarly history: 1913–1960Harry Hower, a chauffeur in the Chicago area in the early 1900s, got into the tire business and proposed an idea about the whitewall to the Woodbury family. By 1918, the Woodbury’s and Harry were in business and the Vogue Tyre Company was born. Over the decades, celebrities and notable people have used Vogue Tyre products on their vehicles with Vogue whitewall tires.[7] In 1928, Mr. Lloyd Dodson contracted with Vogue Tyre owners Harry Hower and Margaret Woodbury to begin selling their distinctive whitewall tires.[5] When the Great Depression hit in 1929, he turned to the local entertainment industry to sell upscale tires to the movie stars. In 1942, he bought Vogue Tyre and remained its chairman until his death.[8] A selection of these products and list of notable customers are displayed below: Expansion: 1960 to presentMr. Lloyd Dodson started his tire business in 1923 and became the exclusive distributor of Vogue Tyres for the western United States. He bought the Chicago-based company during World War II and remained active in the business until his death. He remained active as Chairman of the board of directors for the last ten years of his life.[10] Recent history- Vogue Tyre acquires some assets of E&G Classics to create E&G Corporation LLC, a new company. This combination positions both companies for substantial growth.[11]- Hip-hop duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis shoot the music video for their song White Walls in a Vogue Tyre warehouse and explicitly mention the company and their tires in the song.[12][13]- Snoop shows his 1967 Fleetwood Cadillac “Snoopdeville” on 16-inch Dayton 100-spoke wire wheels and Vogue tires.[6]Timeline
