• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The prices are not as cheap as it seems. The 1958 Plymouth 2 door sold for $2,022 in 1958 which would be approximately $23,963 in 2025 dollars. The hard top model went for $2,930 so that would equate to roughly $33,275. The minimum wage in 1958 was only $1.00 per hour and the average annual salary was $5,100.

Everything was cheaper back in (fill in your desired year/decade/era), a phrase often heard and it is true, but it is also true that wages were a lot lower and that seems to often be forgotten.
