1936 Ford V-8 Dealership Filmstrip

Interesting how they hyped crap mechanical brakes and a hay wagon suspension system as simple, and therefore much better.

aceofgreece is right

salemcripple:
$56.50 in 1936 is equal to about $900.00 in 2008 dollars. The average wages in 1936 were around $1,700.00 per year ($28,000 in 2008 dollars), so, it's a little more than you think.

yes i know that. I'm not that stupid. I was simply commenting on how much less things cost now days. By the way $900 bucks wouldn't even pay for an overhaul now days.

$900.00 for a rebuilt engine is still cheap.

That is the way classic cars shoul look!!! Don't support custom cars!!!!!!!11

do you deny the great art forms of rodding and customizing? do you know anything about it? most hot rods were resurrected from such bad condition that most auto restorers wouldn't even consider investing in them.the great beauty of Kustom Kulture must be totally
unknown to you, CREATIVITY WILL RULE. your comment is based on ignorance. i love custom cars. i despise your comment- because it is repressing art itself. wise up!

Some people aren't going to like customizing no matter what you tell them, I happen to think a fully restored car is a beautiful thing. and if someone has that much skill to customize a horrable condition car, why not restore it to it's former glory? that's just my opinion, where I live I'm seeing too many of these custom jobs and not enough classics.

This ad is priceless with all the hipe of the time. More please 5 stars. FORDROAD AUSTRALIA
