The car in the background is a 1929/30 Studebaker Commander 8.

Speaking of wrecked ones..... Here is a good example from the collection of why the 'A' has safety glass.

Two pics of a Dodge and an "A", after they met by accident.....

Re: Nice Town car photo
 

Looks like this 1931 Roadster got rolled. The pic is from 1931 as well, so a practically new car.....

28/29 Roadster, good side/bad side. Note the 'good' side rear tire is missing?!?!

Brad in Germany blew up the pictures and did you notice the tread on the tires in the second picture? YIKES!!

Not being an A expert, what is that on the side of the car in the first pic? It looks like a modified carriage light to me. I also noticed how bare the front tires were. I guess they rode them until nothing was left. Then again they weren't traveling down a highway at 80mph either.

What a cool website of wonderful era photographs. He must have taken lots of pictures for insurance settlements.

Standard equipment on Town Car Delivery.

Re: Nice Town car photo
 

It looks like the cars are parked on sand/dirt/gravel/mud/whatever. I don't think the tread is bald - just covered in whatever substance they're parked on. Note the under side of the TCD side-mount well also is covered in it.

Re: Nice Town car photo
 

and no whitewalls!!!

Fun fact; of the thousands of Dick Whittington pictures, 856 of them involve Model A's! Most of those are of course the insurance photos picturing accidents but also a lot of commercial vehicles, proud business owners wanting to showcase their fleet.

The TCD's used those sidelights as standard equipment and different styles were used between 1930 and 1931. These were "off the shelf" lights that are not unique to the Ford TCD's.

Here's a blow up of the tire tread.

They used to be more frugal and brave before the advent of AAA and govt. nannies. That tread is gone but the tires will go many more miles till the cord shows.
