"Only $19.95". That's $172 according to the inflation calculation. How is that 'only"? That is a catchy tune, though!

According to some info I found, one model of a larger regular color Polaroid went for about $116 in 1964. That's $1,151.73 today. :shock: So I guess compared to that, it would be a bargain!

I wonder what that's based on. At that rate, only rich people could own those things. I think it might depend on the item, and the inflation calculation could be a subjective thing.
