Some early used cars I owned from my young years in the late 50s. Listed are the approximate price I paid and the seller:
1948 Studebaker Champion 4-door sedan $125 (used car lot)
1952 Morris Minor convertible $350 (private party)
1948 Dodge 4-door sedan $125 (friend)
1949 Renault 4CV $150 (used car lot)

But since I wasn't satisfied with these "ordinary" cars I saved all my money over the summer and bought something really special:
1949 Alfa Romeo 6C2500SS Farina convertible $500 (importer of exotic Italian cars)

All these cars were functional and complete used cars that were used as daily drivers when I went to school and worked in a grocery store.

On the negative side I made the union scale $1.50 an hour.
Prices are all relative to the value of the dollar.
