While the dollar bought a lot more, generally, in 1955, things were priced differently. Also, most items were made in the USA . A new car might cost $1800. In 1950, a 12" tv the size of a washing machine cost $500, or a little less than 1/3 the car price. People had what they NEEDED, and some nice things. Left-over money was used for things the whole family could enjoy, like a memorable vacation, with a roadside motel, driving cross country in the family car, and roadside picnicking, all to keep expenses down. Folks just lived with less "stuff".
Thank you kindly for this beautiful film from my birth year 1955 and am thankful for #veterans in the United States and elsewhere who supported the circus as I do, smib. Cars. Wow! 🐬
