History Thought you guys might get a kick out of this

I got this in an email and thought you guys might like to read it. Kinda cool....

 

been posted at least 10 times....

 

my bad, mods feel free to delete. i never post then when i do its not even anything worth posting. ill go back to lurking lol

 

ha no big deal man. its a cool as letter its just been on here many times.

 

So what.

No. no 67cst...I'm glad you posted this. I hadn't seen it before, and what the heck kind of search-terms would you use to find this here anyway? This is worth conversation at the least.
The low prices in this ad for parts and service are noteworthy...but remember that when $25 a week was good money, you could easily eat up a couple weeks pay getting your engine overhauled...same as today.
More noteworthy IMO, is the fact that this dealership seems to actually give a shit about this guy and his car. I don't see this today. Service-bulletins used to be sent out periodically, exposing problematic areas of vehicles, and giving advice on how to fix them. I don't see this today either. The guy that wants to fix his own car has been systematically excluded.

Ask me again why we like the old cars...

Thanks for sharing, 67cst.

 

That $25.00 in 1928 is the same as $318.50 in 2010.

 

Thanks for posting - very cool .

 

Thanks for posting this! I haven't seen this either.

 

Awesome! Real cool to see stuff like this. And as stated, you don't really see this type of thing now days. Just goes to show how far we have come?


And on a side not. I lurk, but not often enough to see every thread on the hamb. I might have posted it myslef if I came across it as well. So don't sweat it.

 

that is pretty cool. i must have missed it before also.

 

Right on..If people get tired or embarrassed about posting this web will dry up. Keep 'em coming. This thing moves faster than a speeding bullet! This mornings posts are on page 5 by tomorrow!

 

Very cool.

 

Thanks for posting, havent seen this one before. And its local to me!

 

Cool...

 

Thanks for posting! I'm on here pretty regularly and hadn't seen this letter before.If you post something that has been posted before someone carps about it, if you post on an OLD thread there is someone to complain about you bringing up an old thread, you would do well to mind your spelling and punctuation too because that will get a comment too. I think most of the folks aren't that worked up about seeing something twice or any of that other stuff.Some of us just can't pass up a chance to complain about something.If you feel that you have something to say POST!The way I see it this is just a bunch of guys sharing ideas and if you happen to see the same one more than once I for one don't mind.

 

at least its pretty close to topic. i mean jeesh. lately....

 

Rustdodger said it well--even if I see the post the first time, I forget about it. Lay 'em on us.

 

thanks i hadn't seen it either.

 

^^I NEVER SAW IT EITHER!!^^

Thanks for sharing

 

hadn't seen that myself either, pretty damn cool!

 

I did see it before but not on here. Thanks for posting it even if it has been here before. Scant few of us have time to read the mountains of new posts every day, all the time.

 

I never saw it before either .........

Mabey that guy got that letter in the mail

 

never seen it before, but glad you posted it
it was pretty cool.
thanks

 

glad you guys liked it, thats nuts to think that it took 11 times before you guys saw it for the first time!

 

Thanks for posting ,,I almost live here and I've never seen it before. HRP

 

Nice post, thank you! Wish I could post clear printed matter,if I get a better camera I will.

 

Yup, missed it before also. Pretty cool!

 

Not really.. I can't think of any 3-4 year old car that I could rebuild the engine and trans for $318.50

 

I got a kick out of it!

 

Well said. I've never seen it, thanks for posting!
