Yes, that's true, but even cars are not the same as the model T or other cars available in 1919. Besides cars being relatively "new" to society at the time, they also lacked, well, everything on this list and then some:
* No heater
* No air conditioning/cooling
* No radio/CD/Bluetooth/Carplay/Android Auto
* No speakers, let alone not 6 or 8 speakers that some cars have
* No heated and cooled seats
* No power mirrors
* No power seats
* No power steering
* No power brakes (!!)
* No ABS brakes or traction control
* No self-driving capabilities, blind spot detection, automatic lane change, "smart" cruise control or any cruise control at all
* No rear defrost
* Not even a dome light!
* No power windows
* No power locks
* No all-wheel drive. In fact, it was mostly single-wheel drive!
* No in-screen dash or touchscreen controls
* No massage seats
* No "slow close" doors
* No door sill illumination
* No turn signals (until later, that is)!
* No seatbelts (or if there were, they crude early versions)
* No meaningful safety mechanisms, like collapsible steering columns and automatic airbags, side impact airbags, and proper crumple/structure design
* No in-car entertainment options for movies, etc.
* No in-car navigation systems
* No OBD diagnostics to let you know when you are running low on oil or other critical fluids
We could keep going ... but on the one hand, cars might cost "similar" or even more in today's standards, but they also DO so much more. Even if you said, well let's build the same vehicles they had then today, you couldn't. Government regulations force things like safety mechanisms that will cost more to deliver a final product.
