Artifact Overview
Football fans could thank Dearborn, Michigan, Ford dealers for presenting radio broadcasts of the 1940 Detroit Lions' season. Fans could tune into WJR each week to hear the play-by-play. In addition, dealers sponsored an August preseason show that featured news from the Lions' training camp and interviews with players. Photographs, like this one, helped promote local dealers and the Lions' games.
