My Mom was cleaning out some storage boxes and came across this. My Dad bought this car in 1950, a new black 4 door Chev. Looks like he sprang for the sun visor....probably a week's wages.....and he traded in his 39 Chev. Kinda neat old document
That's cool, and even cooler because your Dad is the one that bought it. Get it framed and hang it in you garage.
I have been by the building where this dealership was located.....one car showroom storefront with a vehicle shop door to the left that is set back maybe 25ft from the street. I didn't go in but it looked like the shop had a wood floor. How many new cars could a dealer in a really small town sell in a model year? Maybe 20? He probably sold more pickups than cars. IF the old GM ratio that the dealer cost was 80.8% of sticker price were true, the dealer made what?....maybe $336 on the sale plus the profit when he sold the used car? My dad traded the '50 in on a '54 Chev and that one in on a '57. Good idea on the frame for the wall.
