Ford Advertisement, "Frank and Ernest...Everybody's Happy Now," 1936
01
Artifact Overview
Sales of both new and used vehicles slumped during the Great Depression. Ford and its dealers tried many things to sell pre-owned cars and trucks. A "Used Car Week" promotion helped stimulate sales, as did Ford's program of reconditioning used cars under the guidance of company experts. Ford also provided salespeople with specialized training materials.
