[Healeys] New 100 Price

[Perry]

And the biggest issue in trying to figure out the amount of tax is that we are looking at a new Austin Healey in 1953. I wonder what the internet will serve up on the question, What was the US or State sales or applicable taxes on a new imported car in 1953….. Google was silent.  Of course perhaps I asked the question incorrectly.  Where is Alexa when you need her!

Even in a region of the East Coast, state and local taxes and transport from entry point would probably be slightly different for every dealership, which would make the buyer price different.  There would be no uniform national tax.

Hello
 
Is anyone able to tell me the cost of a new Austin-Healey 100 in June 1953 on the US East Coast including applicable taxes?
 
The Road & Track test of July 1954 lists $2,985 but there is no mention of taxes.
 
Many thanks
