55. They were inexpensive to the people who leased them.

Chrysler basically *gave* them away. There were 50 of them manufactured at a little plant at the corner of Greenfield and Glendale in Northwest Detroit, a few blocks from my house. I rode my bicycle past the place every morning on my way to school and would see them come off the line. There were always a couple in the parking lot ready to be delivered. Yes, they cost $100,000 to build each. But in a true spirit of innovation and foreward thought, they let people drive them for what was then, the going price.
