$50 in 1959 *PIC*
In Response To: Geez! You have one of THOSE!!! ()

Great watch! I wonder what $50 in 1959 would be worth in today's dollars.

I can remember a few things from 1959 very clearly.

VW Beetle $1800
Gasoline $.25 to .30/gal
Beer $.25 or a 6pk for 1.10
Mechanical calculator $600 and up
Best slide rule $25
Ducati motorcycle $525
