Default Re: Granddad's Model A Bill of Sale

So, if a buyer bought a standard car with no frills, he would get just a rim on the rear?

sounds good to me.

I'm always befuddled when I see cars with brand new tires on the spare wheel.

when I buy a set of tires, I get 4 and use the best old one for a spare.
if none of the old ones are suitable, I can always find another local Model A guy with some used tires on hand........

When I worked at the Chevrolet dealership in the 70's, the Chevy pickups were still delivered with only a spare rim. I was in charge of dealer prep for the new cars and trucks and always installed a cheap tire (usually Uniroyal) on the spare rim.

Also to save money in the 70's many new cars and trucks weren't painted on the starters, driveshafts, and rear axles, and springs.
