Now let`s see. Looks like we are talking past eachother here. My mediocre english doesn`t make it better.Not even close to true.
Period correct racing tyres are very much real, and mandated by a good number of vintage motorsport bodies, the MSA and FIA for example mandate Dunlop Vintage tyres, and yes that includes Cross-Ply, which is what I assume you are referring to by 'diagonal tyres. In many cases the tyres have to also be both road legal and totally period correct.

I was talking about 60`s musclecars here. They were (as stated above) sold with cheap street-tires, not vintage racetires. Vintage racetires is another discussion, they have their place in authentic historic racing.
Meaning, as long as they are raced only against other historic cars also on the same tires, then historic tires will be correct ot authetic. But if raced against newer or modern cars then they (the historic cars) should of course run the same modern tires.
But the stock tires that those 60`s cars was sold with has nothing to do in a race.
Diagonal is the opposite to radial if your know tiregoeometri.
