Engine overhaul $20 labor plus parts

[jdean]

This is a quote for repair services in 1929 for a model T Ford. A fender was $3.50 with $1.00 labor to replace it. Wonder what that is in today's dollars?

Pretty cool letter, things were simple back then as compared to now and a lot cheaper.

1952, Cokes were 5 cents, 7 if you kept the bottle, candy bars were mostly 5 cents, the really good ones were a dime. I think gas hovered aroung 15 cents.
I wouldn't trade for 1928, we have too many fun things now.
Bill I wonder how much the stamp was 1 penny?
