I have been at some movies with my automobiles yet and there were more to come and to make it right. So I have some experience, did some research, was reading and thinking a lot about this era. I would go with the depiction of the first movie.



I don`t believe, that in the early 1930th, most of the Model A were in bad, shabby "unrestored" condition. I bet, they don`t even were dirty at all. In the early 1930th, all the Model A were nearly brand new. There was no need for restoration and the condition of a nearly new car is nearly new. No fading or worn color. No worn fabrics of the seats. The people who paid so much money at this time, probabely were proud of their automobiles -even if it was "only" a Ford and no high prizing automobile. And even in a shabby part of a town, the nearly new cars could be shiny like new and don`t have to look like old houses or impoverished owner. Just look today to some people: they look unkempt, you would not like to eat in their kitchen nor to sit on their sofa. But their automobiles are expensive and always shiny clean.


But I go with you with the ww tires and all the accessories. They were possible with aftermarket parts but not often seen on Model A these years.



After all I do need some input about the color of the wheels. And even if you don`t go with me with the text above, I would appreciate any proven knowledge.

Did Henry Ford sold the Model A only with black colored wheels, or could you have factory colored wheels? Nowadays most of the Model A do have wheels in the color of the auto, and I wonder if this was factory original or like the ww-tires "aftermarket possible", when the owner gave the wheels to a paint shop.
