When I was cleaning out under the seat of my unmolested 30 TS I found a horsehair upholstery brush stamped with the name of a Buick dealer in a small town in Wisconsin (dealer is long gone, town is still there but still small - population 3260). I guess sometimes you take advantage of whatever is available.

Unlike a Chevy that guy made no grocery money putting air in the Model A tire.
My dad's stepfather specialized in Chevy because that is where the money was to be made.
I knew a guy in college who wanted to open a repair shop. His dad told him to open one in a neighborhood with 3 Jags and he's always have work.

Interesting sign in the initial post - Chevrolets got "Super Service" but everyone else got "Standard Service"? That would make me hesitate a bit...

Yes, but with Super Service, you get a shave and your pants pressed.

Looks like the owner of the Model A could use that trouser service. But check out the white shoes! ��
