Those tires on the buggy are recaps made by Thompson Tire (if I remember correctly somewhere in the San Diego area). The are called a "Checkerboard".
I had a set back in the 1970s on a buggy. They worked well in the dirt.
They were in Petersen's "Off Road Fun Cars" book published in 1970 and you may find them in early buggy magazines advertisements.

Brian, is that a tire inflator that taps into the engine though a spark plug hole for compression?

Very good Van!

That IS an inflator.

I have 2 of them. One for a car and one for a motorcycle. They work surprisingly well. Not real fast, like a 12Vcompressor, but it works.
