1000 Volvo's for 300 million, that's 300,000 euro per Volvo.
Granted, the article says 'adjusted for interest and inflation'. But that seems wrong, if you had the choice in the 70's to buy a Volvo but instead you put the money on the bank, you would have only the accumulated interest by now, not anything else to offset the inflation.<p>Calculating backwards with an average 4% interest rate for 45 years gives an original price of about 55,000 euro in 1971. For that money you could buy a villa in Sweden around then.
