Re: Photo "The New Ford" #2
I concur....
I wonder of the salesman filled the gas tank back then after a sale?

In 1928 there were still quite a few of customers who were just then moving away from the horse and into the 'new fangled contraptions'. Also, a great many of prospective buyers had been owners/drivers of the Ford Model T, which is a whole other way of operating (Planetary Transmission, for starters). These Model T drivers needed additional instructions on how to operate 'The New Ford'. Doug Vieyra, Eureka, CA |

Re: Photo "The New Ford" #2
I bought some dealer invoices about 10 years ago. Notice BG&O on the invoice. G and O is the charge for gas and oil, and I wonder if B is for bumpers? Why is the Sport Coupe so expensive?

Re: Photo "The New Ford" #2
Hmm - June of 1928. Perhaps a "Dealer Premium" to be able to buy the car?

Re: Photo "The New Ford" #2
If the Guy in the photo has these shoes, then whitewalls might make sense:

Re: Photo "The New Ford" #2
Were whitewalls a dealer option stateside?

Prices varied during the Model A years & in the US you did pay extra for oil,full tank of gas & bumpers plus delivery. Here in New Zealand, the Sport Coupe was priced the same as a Std. Coupe [ L NZ 260] & only L 15 more than the Tudor [ approx. $US 485] in late 1929. But there was no extra charge for bumpers or delivery anywhere in NZ, which was standard Ford of Canada policy. |

Re: Photo "The New Ford" #2
But the Coupe started at $704 and totaled out at $875 with all the extras. That's quite a lot more than a Tudor at about $425 to start.
