They substitute Spam, Klik and Kam for food in Florida frequently as well. Crap has been substituted for quality in many places. Plastics for brass. Walking for driving, cardboard boxes, park benches and mine shafts for apartments, harlequins for harlots, polyester for cloth, Disneyland for Zermatt etc.. etc..

It was hard to afford things in the 30's and fifties, but a wool suit and a watch and a pair of shoes would last for 20 years. What would it cost to get quality of any kind today? A Packard was 2500 in 1934. A Bentley Arnege today is 500K +?

The most you could spend on a Cord Auto in the 20's was about $9,000 It is hard to believe that kind of relative quality could be had for $162,000 today.

They don't build 'em like they used to.
