Ross,

This looks like a sweet deal to me at 1K each.
So in 66 a kilo buck was 1/5 of the take home pay for an automotive worker
for a year in Detroit or Flint Michigan. 

That was serious money.

In 68, for 40 hours in a Flint Chevy shop you took home $100.12
Union due week you only got $98.12
You worked 50 weeks a year and had a two week "change over" in July with no income.
Guys use to raise families, buy homes and new Chevies on $5,000.00 a year back then.

Roger.
