If the average car price in 1960 was $3,000 (I may be wrong).
What would it cost today to purchase an equalivent car today ? ? ?
This web-site Calculator shows $25,058.

To me, it means for the same amount of money (accounting for inflation)
your basically getting:
FREE Air Conditioning
FREE Sterio
FREE Cruise Control
FREE Power Windows
FREE Air Bags
FREE etc, etc
And an engine that may very well go 200,000 miles
Sure sounds like a good deal to me.
The 1960's car most likely had a better design and more chrome,
but it just shows you what modern manufacturing can do.
