and you're getting far more and far better cars for your money when adjusted for inflation.

Yes… cars now are faster, safer, and more efficient than they were in the 50s.

Even if you discount all the “features” they’ve added the bare necessities of a car are tons better than mid-20th century cars or even late 20th century cars
