Old post card for Model T
I recieved an E-mail from my brother the other day and was amazed at the price of service back in 1928. $20 - $25 for a complete motor AND transmissin overhaul? WOW!!!!!!!! Im going to repost this in the general forum later. Thought I'd give you guys first crack at it since this is where I hang out.

The Model T was the perfect family car.
It had a hood for father, a cowl for mother and a rattle for baby!

Back then....a buck was worth a buck.
A Ford assembly line worker's salary was $5.00....a DAY!

Yea those labor charges were real killers too. I know where a guy has one of these sitting in a garage. Love to have it but I think its going to his son or grandson in his wheel. Needs alot of work, like those new fenders for $3.50 - $5.00.

Bottineau is ten miles from Manitoba, hence the French origin.
