Ford Maintenance Prices in Rural America, 1947-1949
Don't be fooled by the low price! In real 2020 dollars, $1 in 1947 = $11.50 in 2020! Note how expensive tires are in 1947 -- probably still the consequence of the WWII rubber shortage. Note too that in 1947 Model A service is still advertised -- probably due to the late number of As still on the road. Because of the demand for new cars and the fact that in 1947 manufacturers are still in a sellers' market, note that reconditioning a car is a real option.
