This
particular page is from page 41 of the April 1962 issue of American
Modeler magazine. Fox Manufacturing is still in operation. A modern
Fox 40-RC will cost you $84.95 directly from Fox, so here is a an example
of prices actually decreasing relative to inflation (see below). All
copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged. Use the U.S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics'
inflation
calculator to see what items cost in today's dollars. For instance,
that $24.95 Fox 40 R/C would be $191.81 in 2013 money. The $8.95
Fox 15 is $68.80 in 2013 dollars (a new one today from Fox costs $73.50).
