The Price is Right: March 28, 1978 (Double Showcase Win of $5 OFF)

[@DylansPen]

This show has been on so long I remember as a kid being home sick from school and watching this with the same music and same games and let me tell you, it's more than a little eerie that nearly nothing has changed.

[@thejoshman3843]

OMG a camaro, star wars action figures, & a brick of gold. All those things held their value quite nicely over the years, unlike most prizes.

[@turboredcart]

You are correct. I noticed that too

[@thomastrain7311]

Yep, dream prizes even if you have a time machine

[@bobbyadkins6983]

Hard to believe that the other car cost about the same as the Camaro.

I thought the same thing about the USSR trip lol....plus, not that it means much, but she also won the book case which got her up on stage to begin with. So I totally agree, she has to be one of the biggest winners they had, at least up to that point, wow...

[@doddsino]

That's gotta be the best player ever, right? Won a car by rolling almost perfect dice, got $1,000 on the wheel and won both showcases with one of the best bids ever. I think the only thing that would have made it better is if she got a perfect bid in contestant's row.

[@beakt]

In March 1978, I was six years old, and I had a suit I wore on Sundays to church. It had the matching vest. To me, that was part of a suit, as I never knew any different. I like the vest. I wish it was still in style. If you get hot and take off your jacket, you still look sharp with smooth threads on top matching your slacks. As I recall the vest went out of style in the first half of the 1980s.

Those cars were absolutely beautiful!!
