FINS and LOTS OF CHROME. The excitement of new styles coming out at least every two years. One that comes to mind is any american car was affordable by anyone in any income bracket. When minimum wage was $1.85 and a well equipped New Corvette cost cost $4,800. Today the minimum wage is $9.00. (five Fold) that what it was in the early 70s. This should put a new Corvette today at less than $25,000.Comment
