The 81 Tire Co. was located in Birmingham, Alabama. The shop's service fleet consisted of eight T roadster pickups and one TT. Note the "81" painted on each trucks door and windshield.

At least two of the roadster pickups are earlier with straight windshields, while five clearly have slanted windshields. Two of the slanted windshield cars appear to be low hood 1923s, while another two appear to be high hood 1924 or 1925. One I am not sure. All appear to have clincher wheels and tires.
Several interesting things to be seen in this photo!
