I am pretty sure the 30 deluxe roadster came with a sidemount and the trunk. Possibly the one of the deluxe tudors for a time. These same cars came with wheels the color of the pinstripe too. They were not common, but there were some special production car models that had them. Of course pickups, deliveries, and woodies. |

Re: Spare tire location
On LOOONG trips in the "OLD DAYS", we carried extra spares on the ROOF! Later, we had a teardrop trailer that carried 3 spares. When we slept in it, we arranged the wheels outside, in a teepee shape, a canvas over it & our Watchdog slept in it.

Re: Spare tire location
I mounted the spare on my 31 wide bed under the box. Look at the spare on the AA stake trucks. I made my own based on that design.

Re: Spare tire location
Bumping an older thread...
Does anyone have any pictures of a Model A (28-29 preferred, but I'm not picky) with both the rear spare tire mount and the rear trunk/luggage rack? I want to move the spare from the side mount to the rear, but the lady is pretty insistent on having a luggage rack and trunk for longer trips. Trying to visualize it in my head. Thanks!

Re: Spare tire location
My first model a was a 1929 town sedan with twin side mounts, a luggage rack on the rear, and a piece that looked like a acordan that clamped to the running board.

Re: Spare tire location
When they were purchased originally, cost was the concern. They were basic transportation.
Now they are a toy/hobby. It's like owning a boat, you need to have all the toys on it. As they go from one owner to the next, each owner adds his thing. I would say that today there are many more Deluxe cars than Ford ever originally built. Weather as built or dressed up, it's your baby, enjoy it. Just make sure the running gear is safe. |

Re: Spare tire location
Some like pickups and Station Wagons had it in the fender. The spare tire itself was an option.

Re: Spare tire location
Marc,,, got sidemounts, hate 'em. They came on the car from the last owner. They rattle, they are in the way, and you have to wrastle them in and out vs. just lifting the spare off the back as in a rear mount.
The best looking Dlx. Roadsters in '30-'31 are the factory 1931 models with the rear mounted spare. Someone had a '30 Roadster done up in Deluxe at the Sharon, Wi. meet a couple weeks ago, with the spare mounted on the back. Looked real good in my eye. Yeah yeah I know the '30's came from the factory with a LH side mount but I still like the looks of a rear mount better and it is more practical. |
