Non-starter trucks. Note the non-demountable clinchers. Cheapest pickup you could get.

Warren,
How would you know if they had starters or not?

Did they not put cowl lights on the non electric vehicles that late? I don't see any, but what was used for parking lights otherwise?

Are those timeclocks or canteens hanging on the post behind the middle one? Also note the Coupe in the background, far right.

Garnet,

What caught your eye that makes you say, "there's something odd here"?

This is a part of Knoxville long ago torn out. The curved roof building you can see to the left was a streetcar barn right on Gay St, the principle main drag downtown. It was a automobile warehouse later then torn down. The tire company moved several blocks west and survived up into at least the 60s.

Well, the open driver door for one, or did US models finally get them with the improved car?

1926 was the last model year to offer a non starter Ford. High pressure tires, steel radiator cover, oil tail light. There is one in Minnesota just like the ones pictured.

Did you notice that there is an air tank in the back on each truck with hose and the one in the doorway is being filled. These must have been road service trucks. Early AAA type service.

Thank God they are still using one '25 pickup!

The roadster on the far right is on a jack and the passenger side rear tire is not on the rim.

There's also a very stock non-starter '26 roadster in Minnesota that I know of.
