I would say a steady pricing increase up to the Depression and then nothing really that expensive until after 1945.
I would also think that during war years there would be shortages in materials and manpower and production would have some ceiling limits even if you have 10 factories.
Some games like Hearts of Iron have a manpower availability statistic which prevents you to build huge armies. There should be something like that in the game to prevent someone from building 100's of cars when WW2 is going on (at least not for public, but if/when you introduce ability to sell to military then I could see larger numbers of pickup trucks and what not being made and sold).
I would agree IF the rating was higher, but it was not. It was about the same rating as one of my vehicles. IF that car was a 90 rating and made of solid gold then I could see it selling that high.
In my game New York started with a HIGH demand for pickup trucks, and even when I was the ONLY company there or 2-3 companies, I had to lower my price from $3800 to $1800. So a city without any competition and high demand I should have got more money (supply/demand). That's why I don't understand a car selling for $11,000.

It has to be a bug.
The problem is, if your taking about a vehicle that only sells 4 per month, so 50 in a year, your including a whole bunch of very exclusive, limited run vehicles.
For example, if you want to include suv's there is one Land Rover range rover model of which only 500 are to be produced and it costs a nice 170,000.
Ill admit, i haven't been able to find a dedicated Pickup that costs more than 80,000 yet, though i imagine there might be some concept models that fit in the 50 per year margin.
