Kind of difficult to arrive at price of a car in 1956 as I don't have a book to go by but I know I paid 1250 for a 55 Plymouth in Oct, 1957 when I got back from overseas. I looked long and hard for a car I could afford. Was thinking about a 52 or 53 chev but they wanted that much for them at that time and they were not nearly as nice. I also priced a new 58 chev just before I got out of the army in may 58 and it listed over 3000 so I quickly gave up that idea. I also remember dad paying 150 dollars for a new refrigerator in 1945. He had saved up that amount and a little more in half dollars. When he went in to pay for it with the half dollars in a bag , they thought he had chains when he said he had some change. I bought a used Frigidaire refrigerator in 1961 shortly after our daughter was born. Wife could not nurse her so we needed to keep her formula cool when the weather warmed up and the window sill would not do the job anymore. We still have that fridge in our kitchen. Get lot of remarks about it but it still does the job.
