In real terms the cars new were far beyond the ordinary labourer or tradesperson on L3 per week or so, whereas the canny here worker today can afford a near new full size car, and even the track suit brigade and the unemployed can afford a perfectly functional and reliable $2000 (L1000) car or two or three, with no compulsory insurance.
I have a 1920s photo of my grandparents with 1916 Dodge and neighbour with large pre war Fiat at a local beach. The men (tradesmen) in suit or sports jackets, my father in full school uniform... The cars with immense wheels look like covered wagons in laager.
