1928 Service repair advertisement

[G.O.B.]

Why did I not buy a 1928 Model T when it was new and could afford the parts and service? Just look at the service card reminder.

Because you weren't alive in 1928, Pop. That's why. Dork.

I really wish you still had to know how to advance the spark curve to drive.

Awesome! The build thread on the impala is really nice.

Strangely, I actually know where an ancient ford is if you needed parts. I think it's a model A.

Model A. Was sitting in a barn since 1957. Hasn't seen daylight until this picture was taken this past year when it was moved to a stronger barn.

I found an article that says the average american paid $7 a month for rent in 1928. So comparing those prices to that monthly rent figure and then comparing that against values today adds some perspective.

[Jesda]

What do they charge for remote start?










By that I mean a rope on a spindle tied to the hand crank.

[driverdriver]

I wonder what those prices are in today's dollars?
