Non Demountable Wheels on Late T's

The inexpensive Ford models in the 1920's were sold without demountable wheels and starter and generators. How many of these exist today? An example is on the back cover of the current Model T Times. It has 30X3 non demountable wheels in front, and 30X3 1/2 non demountable wheels in the back. If you look closely through the rear spokes, I think I see a battery. So, it's possible a starter has been added. I saw a late T touring about 30 years ago like this. It would be nice if the owner can give us some information on this vehicle.

Maybe a dozen years ago, one of the T publications did a detailed article on a restored 27 non electric roadster.

Larry,
Why don't you reach out to the owners, Lee and Pam Doud, of Pine City NY, and ask them?

I assume the 1925 frames had the holes drilled for the battery carrier, so it would be easy to install one. However, two of the holes had the carrier riveted in, and the remaining hole was for the ground strap. from the factory.
