Hey, I paid a whole $25 for my first car; it was a Chevy.
I had to look that one up!, like the U.S. Falcon with a different Grill.
Yeah like a Falcon with a Maple Leaf emblem on the grill (?), hub caps, and steering wheel. Also only auto transmission, IIRC only the Falcon came with a standard tranny (again maybe only in Canada?).
Average annual income in 1928 was around $6,000
In the mid seventies I had a delivery job @ $3.25/hr (6500/yr) so I'll guess that '28 figure is out by a factor of 10ish.
The U.S. Census Bureau currently publishes median household income data ... 1967 60,813,000 households $6,140
