Re: 81 Tire Co."The South's Largest Tire Shop" Fleet of Eight T Roadster Pickups
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.
