Yeah, I know, that the dealers made money with some extra options even back in the old times. Probabely not so much as nowadays, but I saw many advertising of aftermarket parts and I grinned, when I read all the admonitions from Ford company in their Bulletin, only to use their original parts. And always work tidy and clean.
For me it was important to know, when the factory did this or that. And with your help I know now. And I`ve found some interesting facts about whitewall tires in ads from the 20th to 30th like the ad from Duesenberg, who was the first one with the order option of whitewall tires in 1922.

There is a Hollywood movie that has a Ford Model A Town Car in it. The car drives up to a house, some one gets out, the car drives away. The movie is "Brother Rat" with Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman (1938).
