Does anyone know the price of the Cutlass in 1969?

I would like to the know the prices of the 1969 Cutlass as it went up in luxury. Cutlass-Cutlass S-Cutlass supreme. I would also like to know each of level "goodness" each car had. Was the Supreme better than the S so on and so forth.
Thanks Alot!

I was in parts in the late 60's, and it always amazed me that GM would charge 'true cost difference' for upgraded options, when ordering a car!
Even 'over the counter, dealer installed' pieces were reasonable.
Replacement parts were more than affordable, too.
Guess it seemed so, as I just figured I was making $6k a year, and gas was under 50 cents a gallon!!
Guess GM wasn't so 'profit oriented' back then!

Isn't inflation grand?????
