Wheels and tires appear in good shape. Body/fenders look relatively straight and fairly rust free.

Very unusual to see a 1926/'27 model T coupe with the 30X3 1/2 clincher wheels!

Some people will tell you that they were not available that way originally. Do not believe them! The simple fact is that some of the sales literature of the day did in fact say that the coupes and sedans would be available with wire wheels as standard equipment, it was implied that the wooden spoke wheels would not be available on them.

However, that never happened. Although sales were down those final years for Henry's outdated model T, supply chain issues for the new design wire wheels made them short on availability. So, in spite of the sales literature, the coupes and the sedans continued to be sold with not only 21 inch balloon tires and wheels, but even some with the obsolete clincher tires and wheels.

In addition to that reason, people are funny things. Many people are slow to accept change. They had used and were familiar with the high pressure clincher type tires and wheels that they had been using for nearly fifteen years then. Many people weren't yet ready to accept the notion of low pressure balloon tires.

So many people still loved the familiar model T, that it is said thousands of people bought one last one for their future use when the old one wore out. Some records and oral histories indicate that there may be some truth to that? I know that fifty years ago when I was a young fellow getting into this hobby? I was told about several people that had done that.

People are funny.
