In '65 a new car ran about $3500, now $35,000. Houses have made almost the same jump.
In 1965 you could buy a decent, basic car for $3500.
A decent, basic car today goes for $18000 not $35000.
Get serious.
In 1965 a computer capable of managing the launch of a satellite cost $10,000,000, today I can get the same processing power in a $2.00 calculator, and it is solar powered as well.
That is why you have to consider a range of products when calculating inflation...
Yes, but without adjusting those prices for inflation, your comparison is meaningless. Everything cost less in 1965, because each dollar was worth more.
The more accurate question is: When adjusted for inflation, what is the cost of the equivalent/comparable vehicle? Even that's not entirely fair, since today's vehicles are better quality, safer, cleaner, more economical and last longer.
