I remember when I bought my new 1981 Chevy Camaro Z-28 with V-8 and pretty much fully loaded for $8000.00. I was still in college and I wasn't going to buy such an expensive car, but my grandparents said that I needed a dependable car that wasn't going to nickel and dime me to death. I had plenty of money in my trust for college, but since I was given a free ride to the Naval Academy, I thought I would spend some of the money on the new car that really caught my eye. I wish now I would have kept it.
In the '70's my NYC apt. was $135.!How did we get from that to this?
eta-----I would take round trip flights to Europe for $100.!

Some of the cars made in the 50's thru the 70's are worth a fortune today...compared to what they cost new. A 1957 Chevy BelAir 2 dr,. hardtop in fully restored condition today can easily be worth over $100K...compared to $2k when new.

Bought a brand new 1968 Road Runner. $2500 out the door.(tax and all). Being young and a bit dumb, it lasted 28 hours before I totaled it. Of course, I still had the 33 chevy to fall back on.

Wife is a 57 chevy lover. (me... I'm a 55 man through and through).
Over the years, we've had a few. Matter of fact, she's scouring the internet to acquire one again.Here's a couple.
