    One of these was brought up on here a while back. I think it's awesome and wish dealers would do the same today instead of trying to get me back into 4 more years of a payment.

    A nice little treasure you have.

    haha, that is cool!

    according to a calculator I looked at on line, $7.00 in 1929 had the same buying power as $88.40 does today.

    Postcards were used by automobile dealers throughout the country, most were factory provided to initiate sales of NEW cars, but also used cars and service work. This is a good example. I've seen some with pictures of a used car on the face and the price and sales pitch on the back side.
     

  5. Ryan blogged about it and it ran around here and the internet last year EVERYWHERE.
