Old Memories, Old Prices
I was thumbing through one of my 1967 Warshawsky & Co. catalogs today. Prices sure have changed over the years.

Re: Old Memories, Old Prices
It sure would be nice to still have those prices. I would have lots of new spare parts instead of used parts. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Old Memories, Old Prices

That's probably about what a overhaul kit cost today.sargentrs wrote:I wonder if they have any of those 4bbl carbs left for $29.95?

Re: Old Memories, Old Prices
It is all relative. What was the average wage back then?

$1 in 1963 bought as much as $6.93 will buy today. Multiply by that factor and prices will seem far more in line.

Re: Old Memories, Old Prices
You guys must be politicians. Way back a dollar was worth a dollar backed by gold. Today a dollar has no value and is backed by Chinese credit.

Salaries and wages matched the prices. Although, I feel we are not better now.

Re: Old Memories, Old Prices
Mr. Stepside, I agree 100% with what you are saying but it is what it is right now with what things cost and what things cost then. I would give anything for us to go back to the gold standard but unfortunately it isn't going to happen. I could get political now but I won't. Fuzz
