TV Land will sometimes play old commercials when I watch Andy Griffith, which is the best show of all time, but that's another topic. I remember seeing a commercial for a Thunderbird or something similar for around $3000. Just shook my head in disbelief
When my dear old Dad bought his 1959 Chevy Impala convertible brand new it cost him around $3200 , with the 348 engine and, except for air and power windows, most of the other bells and whistles. Back in those days anyone who spent more than 3k on a Chevy could be declared legally insane.
