1957 Oldsmobile salesman training film
Просмотров 132 тыс.4 года назад
My dad worked at a car dealership his entire life, started as a 'lot boy', sold oldsmobiles, then manager, general manager (added honda, kia, volkswagen and mitsubishi in the 80s and 90s), and then bought the dealership when the owner retired and ran it until 1999, a 45 year career! I found this reel in back corner of his shop, where he stuffed all his work stuff when he retired in 1999.

    Pretty cars but boy compared with today’s cars they were death traps in an accident.

    What is torque ? Compression ratio ? Pound feet ? Center of gravity ? Energizing brakes ? Biofonic speakers ? I guess Olds is for physics majors and engineers. Every one else Mr Sales Manager will go buy a more " less complicated " car.

    I would say the sales manager may know his stuff, but he probably isn't very great with people as he jumps to conclusions.

    My mom and dad always drove a Buick. I will never forget my moms 1952 Buick Roadmaster. It was the bees knees and then we got a 1966 Buick Electra 225. It was so fancy I thought we were riding in a futuristic rocket ship! I would love to have either one of them now!

    Get a Big Busted Bimbo to distract the buyer and while he is not looking Screw him out of his Trade IN. I NEVER "trade in" I sell the USED Vehicle first and go get a cash quote from 15 different dealers with EXACTLY the same features and either pay CASH for it or FINANCE it at the bank. Cash to the dealer. I NEVER buy General Motors either. I had to LEMON Chevy Trucks way back there when I ws young, they screwed me so BAD I STILL will not buy any GM anything. I don't drive cars I drive pick-up trucks, only had ONE CAR in my life. They don't make Olodsmobiles any more. At one time they were just one notch below a Cadillac. My how time flies. BB

    Back in that day if a car made it to 100k miles you made sure every neighbor knew about it. It was bragging material. Today people want to sue the maker if the car doesn't hit 150k. Cars were - not - better in the old days.

    Some of the features of that car are better than we have now on cars. I really liked the hidden gas cap and that thin steering wheel so you can see more of the dash. And that windshield was easier to see out of.
