$1.00 in 1964 had about the same buying power as

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.

Casady

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.

Casady

The $6.83 figure is accurate.

Sure it is. As you would have it, not 6.82 or 6.84.

Come back when you have something not prima facie bogus.

You're both wrong. I was paying a dime for a pack of cigs in '64.
And a nickel for a Snickers bar.
Dill pickles could be had for a song, and there was a Coke machine in
the Sears on 79th St. that dispensed an 8-ounce cup for a nickel.
Movies were about 2-bits.
Twinkies were the rage.
Bye Bye American pie.
