Comment on WTF Happened In 1971?
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 2 months agoAutomobile prices double after a year, and then keep doubling.
??? I’m going to use a Dodge Dart as my basis because a 70 Dart was my family car.
1970 Original MSRP $2,261 1972 Original MSRP $2,528

That’s 7% annual inflation, not 100%.

A base 2013 Dart was $16K MSRP. At that rate it doubled once every 13 years or so from 1970…certainly not every year like dudebro said
