"On October 20, 1959 the Corsair was purchased from the storage yard by Alu-Met Smelters of Long Beach, California for $485.67. That same year she was purchased by Ed Maloney, founder of the Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino, California for $650."

Wish I had a time machine

In 1946 you could buy one of these (most with less than 20 hours on them) for $1250.00:

P-38's, one of my favorites.


Still a bargain at about 17k in today's money.
