DollyDodge Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 My mom and I were going through some old documents of my grandfather's and found this receipt for service on a truck. I am not sure if it is my old Dolly Dodge or not. It is dated Aug 1950, so I suspect it was the old dodge he had before Dolly, which he got in 1950. Anyway, kid of cool. S "Sammie". P. Griffith was the Dodge dealer in Bishop. Thee was another repair order on the back of the attached repair order for removal of an engine on a hay baler and some repairs only $50. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayfarer Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 In a vaguely dissimilar similar fashion, I bought a 50 Windsor a few years back that came out of North Dakota. I found a 1956 receipt for a tire purchase and the customer had my same last name. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBNeal Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 That repair form looks very similar to the form a really good mechanic on the other side of the county used up until a few years ago when his son set up a computer system for him...it didn't have the tire tube section, but everything else looks almost dead on...how'bout that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minicooper Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Interesting that most expensive thing on there was the wash and polish! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_shel_ny Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Pretty expensive wash, and oil for 1950. Using an online calculator, in today's dollars that was a $60 wash and polish, with $4 a quart oil. Edit: and a $29 thermostat Edited July 20, 2016 by shel_ny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobacuda Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Using an online inflation/value of money calculator, the total labor in today's dollars would be $219.53. Parts in today's dollars = $187.53. Pretty stout bill for stuff the full service gas station used to do for a fraction of that cost. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
