You should peg the price to a basket of goods that people actually bought back then (food, shelter etc) and compare. Under CPI that $500 in 1929 is $9,472.98. That makes more sense considering the car was affordable for middle and upper-middle class americans. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5787993&forum_id=2)#49361675) |
