A loaf of bread cost around 22 cents in 1963. Gas was 29 cents per gallon and a new car averaged $3,200. You could buy a new house for around $13,000 and an air conditioner for that house would cost around $150.

I remember paying 1.39 in that time.
25 cents (I would check on this-in 1904, a pound of ham cost $.11, and in 1914, bread was $.04-.08 per loaf. $.25 seems way too high.)
A loaf of bread in the 1950s would have only been about twenty nine cents. Bread was a common grocery purchase in those days as it is today.
