I'm impressed. I thought those "Buy car for Christmas" ads were of a much more recent vintage. I dumped TV 4 years ago, but the latest I remember are those Mercedes ones with Santa and the White Lexuses with the big red bows. The dealers were still swinging for the fences with those ads in 1931. I guess some people had the cash for new wheels. My guess is any Christmas purchase most likely was the customer was going to get a new car regardless and just deferred it to Christmas.

If you didn't already pause the ad at the 4:18 mark, the first one from 1931. It talks about the benefits of buying a car before January 1st 1932. Those dealers were already having a hard time selling cars and they knew the B and V8 were coming soon. They were desperate to clear out their stock. Thanks for watching!
