Default Dealer invoice 'Window Sticker'?

I am wondering if anyone has a dealer invoice or window sticker type document they could post that would have been used during the Model A years?

Thanks,
Stew Masche

Here's a link to a thread with pictures of original dealer invoices.

I'm not sure but I believe Stew is looking for an example of an early Moroney sticker but the Model A was 30 years too early. The Moroney came about in 1958 as the result of a law passed by Congress to inform consumers of the MSRP, specifications and standard equipment, optional equipment as separate line items and the shipping cost. Your new '58 Ford Custom 300 2dr. was shown in black and white with a MSRP of $2305. No more could shady dealers (or salesmen) pad the base price, say $300, and then "discount" it back to $2300. As I understand the "dealer invoice" that would show the cost to the dealer and typically they hold that close to the vest. As a GM retiree I can and do see the invoice price when I purchase on the Employee Discount Plan, but if a dealer offered to show me the invoice as a marketing gimmick I would question it's authenticity.
Today we can have faith in the pricing info shown, but the MPG ratings are a whole 'nother ball game.

Thanks for the responses. The images provided are exactly what I was looking for, as I didn't know how these cars were invoiced or sold when new.

Thanks Again!
Stew
