How much was a family car in the 1930?

There's no single answer to how much a family car cost in 1930. The price varied wildly depending on the make, model, features, and even the dealer. However, a *reasonable* estimate for a new, reasonably equipped family car (think a mid-range sedan) would be in the range of $600 to $1200.

Keep in mind:

* That's in 1930 dollars. Adjusting for inflation, that translates to a significantly higher amount in today's money (well into the tens of thousands of dollars).

* The range is broad. A basic Ford Model A could be closer to the lower end, while a more luxurious car from a company like Buick or Chrysler would be closer to the upper end or even exceed it.

* Used cars were considerably cheaper, offering more accessible options for families.

So, while a specific price is impossible to state, the $600-$1200 range provides a useful context for the cost of a family car in 1930.
