A sorry $650 including freight, war tax, gasoline and oil, drive away expense and driving instructions.

Did you notice, you were required to purchase a government war bond?

“War tax” 🪖

IRS says the average reported income in 1919 was $3700. Average new car today: $48k. Average household income is about $480k right? 🤣

Love the driving instructions included 😂

How does it comapare to entry model Ford today? Whats the annual % rise?

Comparing to current Ford pickup (33.800) = 4.65% annual inflation
