used cars-Jan. 1969
The old house I'm remodeling turned up some old newspapers, dated about January, 1969.

Re: used cars-Jan. 1969
Amazing what you find inside the walls of a house.
So within 4 years a 66 pickup had lost more than half it's original value.

Re: used cars-Jan. 1969
I also remember those days quite well. I actually bought a '62 Impala 2-Dr Sport Coupe with a 283 and recent New Paint in February of '69 for $450.
But the great deal I passed on was a '56 Chevy Convertible in '68. Black on Black, Solid #3 Condition with recent New Paint for $295!! The problem was, I wanted a V-8 with a Manual Trans and this was a 6 Cylinder with an Auto Trans. To a 15 year old kid, changing one of them would be possible, but changing out both was a little too much, therefore I passed. ...wish I bought it and stored it in a garage all these years though. Bill

But Bill, wasn't $295 like a pretty good sum for a 15 year old kid then?
