Interesting photo, in spite of some odd distortions. It appears to be some sort of Ford dealer's show or exhibition. Almost every vehicle in the photo is a Ford product, including the Lincoln sedan (may be a couple of them?). The delivery van front and near center, is particularly interesting. It is painted up nice with sales statements like "Ideal for Cleaners & Florists". The left side mounted spare tire is standard for pickups and delivery vans where there is no place for one at the back of the vehicle. What is unusual, is that the spare tire has what appears to be a metal tire cover on it! I know that they were an option for the model A Fords (at least for 1930/'31), and are (or used to be?) highly prized among the model A crowd, but in the reality of era photographs, they are very rarely ever seen!
This photo is from the August 1931 Ithaca County Fair Michigan. Gary

I am sure I found this tag at an antique show. I have a lot of Ford collectibles and the rule of thumb is........if the "Ford" script is in an oval then it Model "A" or later. This tag is confusing no oval and Model A. I think the tags were made locally. Gary
