I found a window sticker a couple years ago from a truck my dad bought back in 1975.
$3600

Funny, I remember in 1969 we were standing in the showroom of L.T. Cobb Chevrolet in Brownsville, TX as my parents were looking at a new green station wagon. There was a silver w/red interior Corvette convertible in the showroom and my brother and I were begging my Dad to buy it instead of a wagon. My Dad had a 1952 MG TD at the time so he was at least interested so he walked over. He looked at it and then looked at the sticker and proclaimed, “The day I pay $5,000 for a car they can lock me up because I’ve lost my mind”. Man how times have changed. I paid right at $20,000 14 years ago for my 4-door Tundra. Can’t see ever buying a new car again.

One of those things if you had a time machine and went back and bought a warehouse full of select vehicles and sold em today how much of a return you’d get. People now financing a new car/truck for 8-10 years. Crazy. Top of the line pick up $70,000+
Wasn’t sure what a 52 MG td was so had to look it up. Bringing good money on Hemingway. Beautiful car.
AS LONG AS FOLKS CONTINUE TO PAY THE ASTRONOMICAL PRICES THEY’LL NEVER COME DOWN:angry: 
BUY USED OR DRIVE THE OLD ONES TILL THEY MELT DOWN…

In 78 I bought a rally sport Camaro for $750. And it was a pretty clean car.

When i married in 69 i traded my new wife’s 66 Tempest for a 67 L88 427 Vet with both top and side pipes and gave $1500 to boot!
Wow, how this sticker looks like? I am interested to see
Today you would need $18k to = the purchasing power of your $3,600 in 1975.
Truck prices have sure gone up more than inflation adjusted $:dizzy_face:
