I'll never forget for the first time visiting the home of my future in-laws and seeing a state-of-the-arts Amana Touchmatic Radarange microwave oven 1967 model.   I thought they must be rich.   I'm sure they must have thought the same about my family though.

Right.

A mustang was something like $2700 and the radarange was $400.

An internet calculator says thats about $4500 today.

Imagine someone trying to sell someone a machine to warm a cup of coffee for $4500 today.

You would really need to question that persons fiscal responsibility. Certainly not anything a blue collar had at home.

I helped a dude at my first base move and he had one of those. I hated his guts afterwards.
