I believe that side spares were a dealer option if you had it special requested it. For 28'-29' i believe the only body styles that came with a side spare were the pickup trucks (both open and closed cab). In 30'-31' it was pickup trucks (both open and closed cab), deluxe roadsters, deluxe phaetons, and deluxe tudors (?).
Here is an ad that my grandfather posted in the Seattle Times in Sept. 1929 after his father suddenly pasted away. ( my Great Grandfather ) In the ad it states that the Town Sedan had dual side mounts . ( fender wells ) . I don't think we would ever find data that would support how many cars or trucks came with fender wells or rear mounted spares.
