I looked up the inflation to convert $5 in 1910 money to today's equivalent. This is copied from http://www.westegg.com/inflation/ I thought it would be an interesting comparison to see the "actual" cost.
What cost $5 in 1910 would cost $113.69 in 2009.

...Yes `Amy : ), but you could run faster
As with any emerging technology, the first speedometers were expensive and available only as options. It wasn't until 1910 that automobile manufacturers began to include the speedometer as standard equipment. One of the first speedometer suppliers was Otto Schulze Autometer (OSA), a legacy company of Siemens VDO Automotive AG, one of the leading developers of modern instrument clusters.
