Question: how much did a automobile cost in the 1950s? 

Answer: My folks bought a new '53 Ford sedan, I think it was around $1795.  It was very well equipped for the time.\n\nThey also bought a new '58 Ford station wagon with optional engine, transmission, and even seat belts.  It was $3600.\n\nThose prices, as well as I can remember, are out the door prices.  All the taxes, registration and delivery charges included.
