Default Re: Is there a "correct" side for side mount?

All Model A's that came standard with a side mounted spare had it on the left (drivers side). The right side was special order.

The only models I've ever seen with factory installed right (passenger) side ONLY spares were 1930-31 Town Sedans (155-C, 155-D, and 160-B). All four of these that I've seen also had an original accessory luggage rack and trunk on the rear.

Obviously there could be and certainly were other models where folks special ordered a right side only spare from the factory but these are the only ones I've seen and verified as factory.
