> From my calculations, $2,800 in 1956 has the same buying power as a little under $24,500 today based on inflation. So are the cars actually _worth_ more? Barely, if anything at all. **But at the same time, having $24,500 in your pocket is worth more than a car just sitting, collecting dust.** Or at least that’s how I look at everything nowadays.

That’s the point I was trying to make.
