Re: Whitewall tires
The earliest era photo I have of w/w's [looks double sided] is summer 1931 & shows a 1930 68B parked outside Long Beach Ford Plant on a public open day. All other cars of various makes parked nearby do not have w/w's. The stoneguard became available about mid 1930 but not an ápproved' accessory. No doubt a Ford Dealer could install one. These two items were rare in the Model A era & invoices for new cars often show pedal pads, tire covers [fabric] or spring covers installed but not the flashy items often seen on 'restored 'cars nowdays.
