If I recall correctly, gas was about 14 cents a gallon
Of course, America was still on the gold standard then, too.· A $20 gold coin is/was about an ounce and 14c is 0.7% of $20; as gold is going for around $660,·then $660 x 0.007 = $4.62/gal.· Those nickel candy bars weren't so cheap, today they'd go for $1.65.
Sid,
My town is in my signature -- Van Alstyne, TX. It's a "small" town of about 2,500
not quite 50-miles north of Dallas along US-75. We'd drive through Dalhart after
hooking with the in-laws on our way to Eagle Nest, NM so I know where that is!
All the best,
