* Lower-priced models: These started around $500-$800. These were basic cars, often lacking many features we consider standard today. Think of them as the equivalent of today's economy cars.
* Mid-range models: These ranged from $800 to $1500 and offered more comfort and features.
* Luxury cars: These could easily cost $2000 or more, and some high-end models were significantly pricier.
It's important to remember that $1 in 1932 has significantly more purchasing power than $1 today. Using an inflation calculator, a $500 car in 1932 would be equivalent to somewhere in the range of $11,000 - $13,000 today, depending on the specific inflation calculator used. A $2000 car in 1932 would translate to a much higher figure, in the ballpark of $44,000-$52,000 today. This provides a better sense of their relative cost.
