When the customer goes into the washroom to freshen up, there's a comb on the sink. He uses it, then returns it to the sink. Maybe they should also have a toothbrush there.
Ford stubbornly refused to switch to hydraulic brakes until ‘39. To adjust those mechanical brakes (without a lift) took “all day and a long dirt road“!
These old cars required lots of service. My first car, a 1958 VW had to have the oil changed every 3000 miles. I believe that valve adjustments were somewhere around there too. It also had to have fittings greased and brakes adjusted fairly frequently. New cars have much more infrequent maintenance intervals, but the bills are much higher. Also, I could ( and did ) rebuild the engine. Try that with a new car.
Im in the process of buying a 28 tudor sedan. These cars a allot of fun so nostalgic
I'd like to see all dealer service center employees be wearing Bow Ties again.✊😖👍
"I would have brought it in, but my wife's been using the car all the time"...ROFL, still happens today lol.
I used to own a 1955 Ford sidevalve 103e; 1172cc.(Upright Popular).
Amazing footage, thanks for sharing!

I wonder if Mr. Burt is still driving that Ford now.
What no appointment, no parts on back order, surely his service advisor must have tried to up sell him on something.
Back when honesty and integrity mattered , today people are shit
