What choices are available for "classic" looking 26 X 2.35 cruiser tires?

What are you guys choosing for tires for your classic cruisers? I'm working on a 1930"s Elgin and would like some 2.35 tires but the choices are limited. Don't have to be 2.35 but I have the space. I've looked at Fat Franks and might go that route. I like the Continental Retro Rides (2.20) and have a 29" set on a 1930 Colson Flyer. What else is out there, I'm thrifty-cheap-.

Check out the Project 346 balloons. They have straight grooves running parallel on the tire and look like old racing tires. Grey/black/whitewalls available. I recently put a pair on my electra cruiser, they are nostalgic as F and top quality. Heres a link. http://www.ruff-cycles.com/ruff-cycles-project346-26-black-white-wall-balloon-tire.html
