1931 Ford Ad
While doing some research on another subject, I ran across this 1931 ad in the archive of our local newspaper. In addition to the information contained within the "testimonials", it was interesting to me that bumpers were considered accessories.

Re: 1931 Ford Ad
By listing the bumpers as accessories Henry could post the car price lower than others.
I have some bills of sale that also list gas and oil extra. |

The owner was buying up tires and installing them at no cost for the customer. Haven't thought about that in years. |

Re: 1931 Ford Ad
Yeah, remember ordering my 1974 F150 4x4 and could still pick color, trim, extras like automatic trans., a/c, tire size and rims, towing package and waited six weeks for the delivery. Cost $5500....
