gets you safety features UNHEARD of in 1950. It gets you reliability unknown in those times. It gets much better gas mileage. How long did tires last in 1950? I know in 1965 they lasted maybe 20k miles. 40k minimum now. Ditto brakes. Points and plugs? Things of the past. Pollution? Orders of magnitude lower. No A/C in that 1950 car. Stereo? power steering? Power brakes? Power windows & locks? Leather? lol. Man, the list is endless for what the extra money is going towards. Our '64 Fairlane, '60 Dodge Dart (pushbutton transmission, lol), our '58 Chevy wagon and whatever we had prior to that, were all poor performing, dismally equipped, breakdown prone, gas guzzling, p.o.s. and they were better than most anything you could buy in 1950.
