Numbers may be slightly out, but in the right ballpark.
Well, not exactly, that's why I asked.

It's not only inflation, it's the strength of the dollar and the associated exchange rate at any given time in history.

Still doesn't add up, since you can buy a 2014 E250 for $50K and change today.....there's no comparing the cars anyway.
