Off-topic but I'd guess the Dunlop tire and tube were for the spare? That was extra cost on some cars, especially the lower-priced ones.
Often you would get the rim and carrier for the spare tire, but the tire and tube were extra. Even with Ford Model A's spare tire and tube were extra but you at least did get the spare wheel as part of the base price.

"The problem is acquiring the special make and model specific mounting hardware and brackets." I was going to say about the same thing. If you look at early automotive supply catalogs, the bumpers were pretty much the same for each listing there in, but the mounting hardware/arms was specific to each model or make of car being fitted to. Without the hardware/arms the bumpers are pretty much bent spring steel wall hangers.

The wood is full of wood borer holes, so pretty well done for. Looks to be standard Model T wheel with these hubs added (could be 30X3 or 30X3.5?), if they are, better rims, felleos and spokes could be found without all the cutting and work. One of the Model T books I have shows how to make and install this type of setup.

Except for a few fiber crush seals, there isn't anything in an OE-1 that ethanol would attack.

One bit if information that seems to be missing that a potential buyer might need to know, does the car have a title or other non-bill of sale paperwork in your name that matches the car numbers that would allow it to be transferred to new owner?

They look like aftermarket wheels for a Ford Model T with solid rubber tires. They mounted on pre-installed studs much like modern wheels. Most would have normal tire/tube installed so if you had a flat, would change the whole wheel instead of fixing the flat on the car. The rim looks to be the clincher type, so the solid rubber tire may have been added later.

Doing a quick thumb through of my 1925-1930 RADCO Carburetor and Motor Tune Up Manual, I do not find a listing for any car that would have had a Stromberg U4 (including PA). The biggest I came across was a U3. The 4 would indicate the size of the passage at the throttle butterfly. Wonder if this is for a truck, my books don't cover trucks, just cars.
I am just posting what I found and will bow to more learned minds.

Click on the image to enlarge.

If the wheels are rubber, they in theory would act as shock absorbers. If you look just behind and down from the tail pipe, you can just see the casting going around the small wheel along with the fillet that looks to be part of the rib around the inside center of the rim. If you scroll down this link you will see some of the oddball spring loaded wheels sold for the Model T Ford. Model T Ford Forum: Show us your accessory wheels (mtfca.com)

If you enlarge the photo and look closely, the smaller wheels are locked into place by the casting of the outer rim. They don't rotate.

Cutting and pasting a link works best, esp on an active forum like that one.

I love the slow vehicle sign.
Yes, but in some places could get you a ticket. In Oregon for example, they can't be used for non farm equipment nor if it is capable of going over 25 MPH. Not saying it's a bad idea.

Could be the cork seal is shot which would require pulling the transmission to repair or is over filled. The fluid level should only be about mid-point or as shown on the right-side removable plate that holds the gear. Other options are to either put thicker lube in or carry a drip pan and live with it till the transmission can be pulled if it is not a case of overfilling.

There is a Dodge Brothers section further down the list of cars. Suggest you also post there. There are at least two good Facebook pages.

You might also look in Chiltons Auto Manual or Motor Manual from that time period.

you might post in the Dodge Brothers section and get those eyes on the question.

That always makes me laugh "drive and enjoy' like that is somehow superior to "own and enjoy", "restoring and enjoying" "sold it as is and doubled my money"
It isMahaha! The next person can do as they see fit. But you left out the part about making safe to drive.

Not getting hung up on restoring it but making it safe to drive and enjoying them.

You might try asking on Fordbarn.com in the late V8 section.

Valve lash needs to be set with engine up to operating temp. At .004 and .005 clearance, the valves will expand in length too and close that gap up if done cold.

The 1915 (1914) to 1927 Master Parts Price List does list bumpers from 3 different manufactures with no years specified. I would think that maybe the bumper bar(s) might be made to work, but by 1929/30 the mounting brackets might be different because the wheels were smaller, car sat lower and more than likely the frame horns were different. Style wise, might not be era correct.

Another thing to pay attention to if you are a young driver, some of those companies have age restrictions.
