Ed. note: The Advance News’ history columnist, Rene Torres, recently sent in this old original 1941 Boggus ad originally published in the Mercedes Tribune. I was thinking, I wonder what some of these vehicles cost today. Obviously, plenty, relatively speaking. Consider the 1939 Ford Tudor, for example, listed here for $495. Well, today, you can find some for sale online with a starting price of $250,000. By the way, in today’s dollars, the $495, adjusted for inflation, is equivalent to approximately $10,000.
