This event happened during this era.
I not exactly sure what year he had, but I had a neighbor who had a similar model. He told me that he was hot-rodding it out in the country and he had a connecting rod go out on it. He pulled it over, dropped the oil pan, loosened up the connecting rod and made a "bearing" for it out of a piece of leather that he cut from his boot. It got him back into town and had the repairs done later. Try that with a modern car.

He would have gotten better mileage if he'd done the .25 fuel injection service, put nitrogen in the tires (.15), and installed BG in the tank (.27).
Still cheap when adjusted for inflation with $20 in 1928 being $240 in 2007.
