Found a picture of a mailer from 1929. Thought you would be interested.

Based on this mailer, it's not hard to imagine a $50 repair bill. Assuming the engine is shot and you blow $25 - $30 on it alone. $50 is one tenth of the value of the car. One tenth of today's car is $2K - $3K. That's a big bill.
