My new 59 Beatle sunroof was $1,695. After adding some accessories plus tax
and license it came to around $1,950. At the time I was torn between buying
the Beatle or a new 1959 Morgan roadster which was a $1,000 more. Today I'd
love to have the latter in immaculate condition for $3,000!

Beetles cost $2400 in 1959? That sounds like a lot for the time. But then
what do I know? I was only 5.
