For Dealers Only
This is a film made for Ford dealerships, encouraging them to smarten up their showrooms and organise their sales tactics.

Soon the untidy pile of out of date brochures are replaced by a bespoke Ford display cabinet, prospects are safely organised in a card index system and there are"fine photographs of Dagenham" on the walls. This is a fascinating insight into branding and sales, 1930s style.
