Artifact Overview
Used cars benefited customers who could buy fancier pre-owned vehicles for the price of new economy models. Bright outdoor lighting highlighted a dealer's inventory at night and attracted customers if the sales office kept evening hours. By the time this photo was taken, the challenging economy of the Great Depression had improved.
