Great article. I like the "Mind bogging sticker price of $5,363.00. My how things have changed. That was a lot of money then when the average blue collor worker was making 4-5 bucks an hour

What an awesome find! Great article and so interesting to see how some of the options listed have been so commonly added to vehicles over the last 10-20 years to the present with no extra charge, lol. I wonder what it will be like when I get my new "vintage" radio put in my olds with bluetooth. Definitely a mix of the old/new technology. Thanks for sharing the article!

That was a lot of money back then so was 4-5 bucks an hour.
