Jim,although I do not have the dates, Mr. Stevens of Fulbright told me that he bought a new car in Detroit for $375:00. I'm sure he said it was a Model " T " Ford, but that is about all I'm sure of. I tell this because someone was asking about the price of cars when they were first sold in the County.
