I have an original invoice for a new Sport Coupe from 1928. The buyer had the dealer put 2 wheel wells in the fenders on the car and the invoice had the extra cost listed for 1 wheel and 1 tire&tube. (He also added a trunk rack.) That says to me that the base cost of the car included the tire on the 5th wheel that came from the factory (or else the invoice would have listed the added cost for 2 tire&tube).
I know the cars left the assembly line without a tire on the spare wheel. I've seen the pictures.
