hey buddy great thread!! i have seen this car many times in auto expos..but am curious to know at what price were these sold at that time? [thinking]

 

[CORTINA]

These car were sold for $13000 in 1957 equivaent to $103,236.49 in today time but the only diffrence is that today there more ultra luxury brands and many more billionaires compared to 1957.At the time fuel and food rationing was there in Britain and Britain and whole Europe were in reconstruction phase unlike today.
