In 1963 I bought a couple of mismatched 9 mm DWM shooters for $50 @ from a pawn shop in Texas. (Pawn shops are not noted for the lowest prices on guns.)
In 1964 the Ford Mustang was introduced at $2,495 base price. Look at car prices today. From my viewpoint a 1964 dime was worth today's dollar. There was a guy who had a service station in the North Detroit area who said, "In 1963 I sold gas for a quarter a gallon. Today I sell gas for a quarter a gallon, provided it's a 1963 quarter." (There's a lesson in there somewhere.)
