Hard to believe you could buy a car for $3184, but then again I remember Ford releasing the Mustang "Pony" for $2495 back in the mid '70s! Those were the days!
One thing I noticed besides the beautiful women and the insanely low prices is the product diversity. A lot of the names mentioned are no longer in business, all eaten away by consolidation and cheap foreign manufacturing
The second showcase car Cadillac car license plate rim was a former Neill Lehr Cadillac of Northridge dealer now called Picture Car Warehouse in Northridge.
I bet the cookware & Caddilac was a holdover from the nighttime show with Dennis James and the contestant ended up with the piggy bank in Any Number. BTW, Linda looks soooo HOT.
It depended on the options. On the Let's Make A Deal syndicated episodes, when they gave away a Cadillac, Jay Stewart would state it was "fully loaded". Even in 1971, one of their Coupe De Villes was over $9100. But it was still impressive that TPIR tried to give one away on a daytime episode.
It's great seeing past price is right episodes. On the date of this episode, I was only 10 years old. When I was in school I couldn't watch the show. Depresses me how much cars cost them compared to what they cost now. Great game show today 👍. Thank you for this.
@@ericsamuelson5656 Yes I did when I had the chance to watch it. I do remember that a lot of the prizes were more expensive on the nighttime episodes than daytime. Especially the cars cost more. I still enjoy the price is right today 👍. Thank you.
@@sydneystar101 I know that people didn't make that much back then. Even though I was only 10 years old at the time, I thought it would take forever to save that kind of money. Without making a car payment. I wonder what taxes were like back then.
Weird that they would do something like that in November when it would normally be reserved for December. Then again they didn't decorate the set for Christmas until at least 1979.
Beverly really blanked out following the overbid.She was fortunate to redeem herself. Two asshole bidders: Beverly (1st item) and Irene (3rd). Just as wrong then as it is now.
