The Auto Magnate’s Price Driven Car Boom
AD realized millions would buy his cars if prices dropped. He expanded, hired more workers, and advertised nationwide. By 1921 he built a six cylinder self starting car at 1000 dollars with shrinking profits yet massive sales. By 1938 he offered his best car yet at 750 dollars.
Automobiles Affordable Through Advertising Says Industry Leaders
In a factory office discussion AD credits advertising for the car boom. OD recalls a fair glimpse into horseless carriages and notes advertising enabled mass production, better cars, and lower prices. AD adds that advertising costs per car stay around 15 dollars as prices drop about 1500 over 30 years, expanding ownership to all classes.
