Thought I'd share with the community. My Father (God bless him and his recent retirement).....
Came across this and emailed it to me. It's an old, vintage mailer, sent one a 1-cent postcard via USPS, which is an advertisement for car repair's way back then.

Notice there's not even an address on it! Just simply a name, and town/state only. Good Lord!

Thought some of you might find it interesting. Nostalgia is often pretty cool! :ok:

Mike.... Very Cool!!!

Wish I could get pistons and rings for seven dollars!

I do remember small Texas towns even into the '50s only needed a name and town name... but we did pay 2 cents (instead of 1) for the postcard.

What if you could have gotten these prices on your LME engine build!?!

$20 to $25 for engine overhaul!  Nowadays it costs that much in gas just to get to the repair shop. That is cool though. My Grandpa bought a 1921 Maxwell truck. The manual said you should pull over and shut off the engine if you see a horse on the road!
