I pick the 1st photo of a 1927 showroom. Seems like they’re selling wood spoke, disc and wire spoke wheels. windwings ? They must like accessories. I have a ‘26 roadster that originally was non electric. I changed that but left the black radiator.

In the first picture I see that there's drip pans under these apparently new cars. Kind of interesting..... :)

First photo.
New car dealer with a bunch of non factory accessories. Drum head lights & disk wheels? Ford wouldn't tolerate this.
Fancy barley pre-owned dealership? Accessory manufacturer displaying their offerings on assorted improved fords?

I'd guess a Ford dealer in a prosperous area... or maybe a college town.
Or maybe a Chevrolet dealer had moved into the territory ...
Doll-up items made money for dealers, and were very popular, as can be seen by looking through the various auto accessory catalogs of the era.

That's a very substantial building for a mere Ford dealer.
Maybe it's an "auto salon"?
