Re: Take your pick
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.

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

Re: Take your pick
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"?
