The Standard Catalog of Imported Cars 1946-1990 has original point of
entry prices. Don't know how it would compare to your Canadian dollar
of the day, but the 1957-58 ZB Magnette price is listed as $2535. By
comparison, the 1500 MGA Roadster of the same years is listed at $2269,
and the hardtop at $2620. Porsches of the day ranged from $3215 to
$5915. You could buy a Ford Anglia at the time for around $1500. It
appears that the Magnette was a mid-priced type sedan of the day, sort
of like the Buick would have been this side of the pond.
