Artifact Overview

Ford Motor Company inaugurated a system of competing dealership franchises in 1914. Dealers sold Ford vehicles, offered repair services, and stocked spare parts and automobile accessories. Dealership parts and service departments lured customers with displays and advertisements. The department also served as a reminder to potential car buyers that the dealership provided extra services after the sale.
