Looking back at prices makes you think how wonderful they were until you factor in how much you were earning then. I have posters on each of my cars that I display when I go to car shows. The posters have a picture of the car along with the price of the car and the options. I have never taken a car to a show when I wasn't asked if I would sell it for that amount.

Whew, that's over $61,000 in today's dollars. 😲

@sizedoesmatter I've owned many convertibles with rear window defrosters (the "power wires" always broke however from repeated top foldings! ) but I don't recall any of my 1960's 'verts having that option. 🤔
