You are totally nuts. A gallon of gas, a magazine, a paperback, a pack
of cigs, a six pack, were all a quarter in 1964. A .Colt 1911 .45
pistol was $62.50. Levi's were $2.25.

Go check it your self , they're all over $6.00


Go check what? My point was that the factor of six figure was bogus.
What am I supposed to check? That gas and cigs were a quarter in 64?
I was there.
