Re: extra spare
Assuming that the photo was taken in 1939 or slightly earlier, this 1930 Model A would have been close to 10 years old. I imagine that at that late date, a Model A sitting beside the road in France would draw the attention of passers-by, especially a flashy DeLuxe Roadster. There seems to be a little throng of on-lookers admiring the car. Perhaps in America a Model A broken down beside the road would not have attracted much attention in 1939. But that would probably be different in France at that time. The car appears to be in excellent condition for being almost a decade old, worn tires notwithstanding.
