That is a hard question to answer, however I will do my best. Duesenberg Automobile & Motors Company made cars during that time and the prices started in 1920 at $6500 for the cheapest model. In today's dollars that would be about $66,495. Based on $100 in 1920 would be $1023 today. Many celebrities bought these hand made, very fast, very advanced cars. This is also where we get the word "Duesy" As in, "Isn't that car a duesy?" They are amazing cars still to this day. Just to keep it in comparison a Ford Runabout, just a basic car was $265. In today's money about $2711.

Some of the other cars the super rich would buy would be Crossley, Packard, Cadillac, Lincoln, Rolls-Royce. But in this time people did not make a lot of money, so only the rich had cars. Here is an example, people would have to save for years to get a car.

Manufacturing jobs paid $1,100 per year, Farming paid $500 to $600 annually Office workers about $I,200 -unless they were female then only $800 to $900 per year.
