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.

The $6.83 figure is accurate.
www.dollartimes.com/calculators/inflation.htm says a 1964
dollar had the same buying power as $6.83 in 2008.
http://www.coinnews.net/tools/cpi-inflation-calculator/ says
it's $7.10.
