keithb7 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 For an interesting look into used car sales business practices during the great depression. Read chapter 7 in the “Grapes Of Wrath”. A fiction book yet I suspect the account was accurate. Quite a chapter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty_OToole Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) Another good short story on the same theme is William Saroyan's 1924 Cadillac For Sale. I tried to post it but can't find it online. And, then there is Mr. Pendley and the Poindexter by Robert Benchley.
