No so much of a steal considering that one can buy a used car now for around $1000.

“$78 in 1940 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $1,781.74 today, an increase of $1,703.74 over 85 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 3.75% per year between 1940 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 2,184.28%.”

There never were any good ol’ days.

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
“Go to sleep, everything is alright”

I close my eyes, then I drift away
Into the magic night, I softly say
A silent prayer like dreamers do

But just before the dawn
I awake and find you gone
I can’t help it . . . I can’t help it
If I cry
I remember
That you said goodbye
To end all these things
And I’ll be happy in my dreams
Only in dreams
In beautiful dreams

The one on the right is Buick Special 1938


Modern looking car back then, only 2 years old.

But, Buick made this next year, in 1941:


Clearly they were really trying to make them more streamlined every next year. New design every year.

Time to go to sleep… night night lovelies!

Also: sex sells…

…whatever they were selling here. Maybe the fridge? “Our new refrigerator cools so cold that our scantly dressed model needs a fur coat?” If so, have you tried giving her something else to wear than a bathsuit and some heels?

Photograph: something that was being done in Hungary in 1969.

Looks so cheap - they couldnt be bothered to put anything on the models or in the fridge.

Speaking of sex selling…it was still a common practice in the Balkans to put up billboard ads with scantily clad women until 2010s(maybe it still is). There was even a colossal billboard ad on the main road in the city where I used to live. On it was an ad of a construction company where a voluptous body complexion, caucasian woman with long, black hair, wearing nothing but a black colored lingerie and high heels, posing in front of a ceramic tiled bathroom wall.

I still wonder to this day what was the message the ad was trying to convey?

I also had a dream unrelated to the trending subject.

I was at the lobby of a conference building with my middle/high school classmates. We were waiting to enter the conference room to listen to an EVE Online presentation by CCP. When it was time to enter, we were being admitted inside group by group, But I was feeling peckish so I went to the cafeteria and ate a bagel sandwich instead. When I was done, I entered the conference room to discover being fitted fully with tables and gaming PCs on top. Every PC was taken and everyone was playing EVE. Some people were watching people play and even doing backseat gaming. I was walking around to find a vacant PC, but the ones who were vacant had no/broken keyboards. The rest of the dream was me talking to a guild leader guy about a different MMO that was very popular 20 years ago. So, skipping the specifics of the last part…the dream ended there.
