Firestone steel radial 500 Corvette tires 1973 -77

I guess you could always do this:

and just put them on for the shows.

Seems like it would take the explosion risk out of the picture. Maybe even drive short distance (slowly).

No it wouldn't because the "explosion" is from the steel cords snapping while under extreme tension. I have had two of these tires catastrophically self destruct without even being mounted on a rim!

I think the only real way would be to get those reproduction white letter stickers custom made and put them on a new tire. :-)
