These cars were $385-$500. Dollars were pegged to gold at that time. This was about 18 2/3 to 24 1/6 troy ounces of gold.

$80,550 to $104,610 at today's gold prices.

Ford was producing over 100,000 vehicles per year at that time. 275 rolled off the production lines each and every day.

Didn’t he pay his workers $5 a day? So 1/3 of a year of salary? He wanted to pay them more but the shareholders revolted

gold is a traded commodity with fluctuating prices. It would be like arguing that your car price in 1990 to Microsoft stock. 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.
