Stark Hickey Ford Dealership Used Car Lot at Plymouth and Grand River, Detroit, Michigan, 1935

01

Artifact Overview

Used cars benefited customers who could buy fancier pre-owned vehicles for the price of new economy models. But they posed a problem for automobile manufacturers. Used cars competed for sales with new cars, and trade-in credits for older vehicles further cut into profits. This photo shows the used car lot at the Stark Hickey Ford Dealership in Detroit, Michigan.
