Record of Ford price cuts and six year gains
A Ford division review shows two key items: car design remains solid while many refinements exist, and eight price reductions have occurred for closed cars with open car prices rising. From 1920 to 1926, a two passenger runabout cost $30 more then than now, and a five passenger Tudor Sedan cost more previously. Overall, passenger car prices fell by over 40 percent while quality improved. The report is attributed to KH T Strong, General Sales Manager of the Buick Motor Company, noting widespread favorable business conditions across states and sectors, including lumber, agriculture, citrus, and manufacturing.
