1964
Welcome to 1964. My brand new VW, w/sunroof, blaupunkt radio, and the "special" hubcaps. Less than $2k out the door. Gas 19 cents per gal. McDonald's burger 15 cents. Candy bars (larger than today) 5 or 10 cents. Remember the Three Musketeers bar, broke into 3 pieces so three kids could share one bar. Bottle of Coke a dime. Chewing gum (does anyone still chew gum?) was a nickel for a pack of 5 sticks individually wrapped. I believe it was Sizzler had steak and loaded baked potato for $1.99.
Remember also that the place you bought you 19 cent gas was a Service Station and would not only fill your tank for you, but would check water/coolant, oil, and wash your windshield for no extra charge.
Oh my god!!! I just realized that I'm a dinosaur. Noooo
