A Small Town Ford Dealership in Hinton, West Virginia, 1955



From Ed:

My grandfather's small town Ford dealership in 1955.  He always parked high quality used cars on the side and typically had the latest new Ford (in this case a 1955 Ford) at the front of the used vehicles.  And he typically placed the used Fords first in line, followed by GM vehicles that had been traded in, and then at the end vehicles built by Chrysler Corp.  The used "independents" were typically found in a lot behind the garage and always had prices on the windshield like $150, $200, $295.......or "make offer."  Even in Hinton, West Virginia, you couldn't win with a Studebaker, Willys, Hudson, or Kaiser
