Dealer Installed Ford Accessories at Frank Kent Motor Co., 1941

 From Ed -- 

Today, dealerships offer few so-called "dealer installed" options.  When I bought my new Toyota the only things the dealer offered were winter floor mats.  Or "how about we apply that special paint sealant?" 


  Pointedly, dealer installed extras seem to be a thing of the past, but look at this showroom display in a Ford dealership in 1941 where you could "add on" a spotlight, fog lights, a different type of steering wheel, "beauty rings" for the wheels, radio, heater, "air" horns, additional gauges, etc.  Note also the sales display in the middle that has a fake dashboard and a view out the front window (also fake) but the display appears to have a real radio, a real heater, and real sun visors plus the optional steering wheel with a full horn ring.
