My dad bought an Oldsmobile Omega in 1975 brand new for around $1200. Recently found the original dealer invoice from Dueck on Marine while still cleaning out his things. Took him a few years to save up for it after arriving in Canada with only $10 in his pocket. He apparently haggled the price on the car and had about $200 to spare and bought a Seiko watch even though a Rolex was around the same price. Regardless of his choices, both items got me into watches and cars.

Looked identical to this minus the wheels.
