THE Model T Ford led the motor industry for twenty years because of its sturdy worth, reliability and economy. Those same reasons continue to make it a good car. ~ As a mualter of fact. nearly one-fourth of all the automobiles in use today are Model T Fords. Millions of thein cun be driven two. three and even five more years with reasonable care and proper replacements. Figures show that the average life is seven years. Don’t sacrifice your Model T, therefore, but take it to the Ford dealér and have him estimate on the cost of putting it in Al shape. A very small expenditure may be the means of giving vou thousands of miles of additional service. } For a labor charge of $2O to $25 you can have your motor and transmission completely overhauled. This price includes new bearings, reboring eylinders and any other work necessary. Parts are extra. - Valves can be ground and carbon removed for 3 to $4. The cost of tightening all main bearings is only. $6. ‘The labor charge for overhauling the front axle is $4.50 to 85—rear axle assembly, $5.75 1o $7. New universal joint will be installed for a labor charge of 83. Brake shoes relined for $1.50. Rear spring and perches rebushed for $1.75. The cost of overhauling the starting motor is $3. A labor charge of upproximately 82.50 covers the overhauling of the generator. It will pay you, therefore, to see your Ford dealer and have hiin put your Model T in good running order.
