April 6, 2009: Model T Postcard

Here's Something a little different, I found at an Australian website that's very NSFW. You know how randy those Aussies are.

Henry Ford had spent $100 million developing the Model A and released it in December of 1927.
Model T owners were still driving a car than had been produced for 20 years with very few changes, and many were debating trading up.
This 1928 postcard, to a Man in North Dakota, is offering to refurbish the Model T as a cheaper alternative to buying the new Model A.



Remember Henry Ford was paying his workers the outrageous sum of $5 a day.

This offer was made in June of 1928, 16 months before Black Thursday, October 24, 1929, that foretold the Great Depression of '29.
The C.R. Gleason Company probably picked up some business after that.
