'40 Ford Coupe: $2000 invested! $1075 takes it! Haha.... that's great.
Any idea when those ads are from?

 

Wasn't the average yearly income about $6,000 back then?

 

My Uncle sent me that link to all those adds the other day, only if i had a Delorean time machine....

 

Same thing for bread milk and eggs, etc. Adjusted for inflation, they probably cost about the same today.

Slddnmatt's time machine is the ticket!

They were in the back of Hot Rod magazine up through the mid 60's I don't know exactly when they quit taking classifieds like that. You have to remember that most guys were making less than 2.00 and hour back then though and minimum wage was 1.00. My ex step father was a construction superintendent who ran big commercial construction jobs and he made 3.50 at the time which was hell for good money.
