Around $800 per an inflation calculator I just looked at.
We used to come home from class and watch Rockford Files. This was me and some college housemates.
I wonder how much a house trailer on the beach would cost you these days.
My guess would be $8,000.00.
It’s based on vehicle inflation. In 1970 I bought a brand new Ford Maverick for $2,000. Today a basic car is about $20,000 in today’s money, according to a quick Google search. (I know Rockford did not start until 1974)
I religiously watched The Rockford Files when I was a little girl and my parents bought the the single 45 to play, which I did ENDLESSLY. Oh, how I loved this show!!!!
My sister and I also watched Hee Haw, The Lawrence Welk Show, Star Trek, Wild Wild West, The Love Boat, the ABC Afternoon Specials, Bugs Bunny, and of course CREATURE FEATURE on Saturday nights at 11:30 pm if I could stay awake that long.
Then, Sunday mornings, we would wake our parents up at 6 am to make us French toast - early enough that they couldn’t say we didn’t have time before Mass.

That being said and this will make liberals sad, despite Bugs Bunny shooting and kissing Elmer Fudd all the time while wearing a dress and Pepe Le Pew always grabbing the kitty so he could force kisses on her, we never thought we were boys and we never became violent.
Good times. And in at least one episode during a single car chase scene, Rockford went from driving a 1976 Firebird (round headlights) to a 1977 Firebird (square headlights), amazing.
