The treads on the tires are getting a bit thin, too.

Ouch! That one looks very fatal.

I think the style of the houses dates this to sometime in the 1930's when Model T's were not worth much. Maybe the tire was the only thing worth salvaging.

I also wondered where the rubber went

Side note, ...I always thought I would like to own a Centerdoor until I drove one. Blind spots everywhere, hard to get in & out of the front seat area, and hot as you know what when touring during a summer club event. Ironically, Dodge Brothers used this same body that I think proportions better than it does on the T chassis.

Centerdoors were definitely designed for smaller folks like myself at 5'4" but it's still a task getting into the driver's seat !

Looks like the junkyard guys got there before the tow truck.
