The Price of a '37 Studebaker


We groovy people are not saying that the Studebaker is a groovy car. We'll reserve judgment for further consideration. This post is about the price of the car.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the $665 price tag of a brand new car in this 1936 ad is equivalent to spending $10,467.91 today. Can anyone buy a new car for "only" ten grand today? Bring back the groovy good old days! And the 5 cent cigar, while you're at it.
