Dad bought a new 1950 Deluxe 4-door for $2800 cash. That was one tough car; us boys drove it hard and it just kept on going.

I bought a used 1950 Dodge Wayfarer; cars of that vintage were built well.
 
I once had a 1950 Dodge Wayfarer.

I let it set in a friend's pasture for 7 months while I deployed to the Middle East on an aircraft carrier. When I got back, I started it up and drove it off. 6 volt electrical system with no accessories to drain the battery while the ignition was off.

In 1950 $2800 was a LOT of money in today's dollars :shock:

'Back then' what seems today to be a 'low' wage wasn't so bad if inflation and the decline of the dollar is considered -

Agreed. It is much cheaper to buy a retored car than it is to restore a car unless you just happen to have the equipment and knowledge to do all the work yourself.

The best ones are the ones 70% done that you can finish yourself - as long as you buy it right.
 
You must be mistaken. $2800 in 1950 would buy you a Cadillac or Packard - fully loaded. Not a blue collar Plymouth or Chebby.
 
Sweet! I spent the first 11 years of my life riding in the back seat of a powder blue 49 Plymouth two door. It's the car that brought me home from the hospital. My sis and I stat on little step stools so we could see out. The child safety folks wouldn't like that today! Grandpa had a gray 52 Plymouth. I think it was a Cranbrook or something like that?

I bought a brand new 72 Ford F100 sport custom with 360 v8 for $2875.
 
Speak of new Plymouths, I bought a new Plymouth Satellite in March of 73 with practically no options for $3250 with tax and license. If I remember right the bare price before T&L was in the $2750 range. Added options raised it about $1000. Options were a 318 V8, power steering and tinted windshield and undercoating. No air, three on the tree, rubber mats, rubber vinyl seats (how do you spell HOT in the summertime). Lasted Marilyn and me and then my two kids 300,000 miles. Son had it as a school car and later he told me "it's one tough car". I didn't ask him how he came to that conclusion. LOL
