See Nov. 20th entry.
My uncle did some more research on Henry Ford's Model A to determine what the cost of a Model A Touring Car like the one presented to the farmer would be.
He discovered that Model As got between 24-29 mpg, not bad for back then or even now. I sure wish my Dodge Dakota got that good of a mileage, and it's a 2005.
A two-seater Model A Roadster cost $350. A fully-tricked out Model A Touring car went for $1400.
Ford often toured to visit dealers and to check out what modifications were being made on his cars. If he liked it, he'd send the specifications back to his factory.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
