Remember when all the color tv screens were round with a mask on the top and bottom? We never owned a color tv while I lived at home, thru 1973. Too expensive. Cost $500+ for a 21" screen. At that same time, I bought my first new car, a 71 Opel Manta, for $2562.50. You could buy a new vw bug for around two grand, or a little less. The equivalent new color tv price today would be around $7000.
