1957 Oldsmobile salesman training film
มุมมอง 132K5 ปีที่แล้ว
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.
Still ridiculous they felt the need for 5! Divisions when even 4 would have worked. Not much to fet excited of a Olds if you got either a Buick or Pontiac you can pick from.
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.
My parents had a 57 olds with the multiple carb setup a j something or other it was beautiful but my oldest sister had just started driving and managed to hit a freeway overpass support head on at 60 mph good news is all 6 of us walked away obviously the car was well built but that was the end of it
THE DUAL LIGHTED ASHTRAYS - YES
Sorry black folks, no Oldsmobile for u.
interesting
I would say the sales manager may know his stuff, but he probably isn't very great with people as he jumps to conclusions.
Hey boss, I hear burger king is hiring, better pay, better hours and I don't have to smell your cigar and scotch breath.
The kind of boss you hope has a heart attack.
It’s spot deliveries, men!
Those were REAL cars.
What a complete load of PRAC!
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!
9:34 - "You just crossed the solid line." "Oh, don't be such a pansy. This is an Oldsmobile!"
Not only was the 88 a rocket. When the 4 wheel drum brakes locked up the car became a projectile!
The good old days when cars had big back seats...
The very same reason why i'd PAY MORE to avoid having to talk to a douche bag salesman.
Saw that coming a mile away. Skipped to the end and sure enough...he had already made the sell. Saved about 13 minutes I can use to watch my next amazing video...
Why men die of heart attacks at age 50.
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
Boy, that boss sure knew how to sell an Olds. Makes me want to run out and by a '57 with one of those "rocket" engines.
New respect for all the WWII vets who had to work demeaning jobs for 40 years to keep their families fed
This film begins with putting normal men in their place. God what a great system.
What an arse, that boss. Just likes to hear himself talk. Talks down to everyone.
Pretty much like a Roman Catholic Bishop. Only George does not rape little boys.
I'm so glad I wasn't around in that time. There is no way on earth I'd wear a suit 24/7 like these people did.
This is literally my Father’s Oldsmobile
Never a mention of safety features, because there weren't any.
That kind of sales would have me looking real hard at the all new 57 Buick.
Another Jam Handy production.
GM used those same exterior door handles across most of their cars for about two decades, even on the early Vettes.
Later that day, Harry murdered George with the thrilling power of a Rocket T-400 propelled Oldsmobile from the armchair comfort of the driver's seat.
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.
What were the color options he was going to go over with the mrs. later that day?
And it comes in 3 colors, ebony, charcoal and black. I stole that line from a mid 1980's commercial for Fisher office furniture.
My "prospect" is "exited"! A car salesman is like a narcissists in a relationship.
The radio "speaker"!
Telling is not selling
I miss Oldsmobile. 72 Olds Cutass supreme convertible... need I say more?
We had the '56 which I guess was so crappy that everything about it had to be replaced.....
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.
Well, I prefer having airbags 😁
Best way to lose a sale, be a pompous windbag
oldsmobile fan....snowflakes are HEXagons....HEX coin $0.16 dont sleep december 4 2021
Love those seat belts lol!
Buy a two door coupe today and you're lucky if you can fit two 10 year olds in the back seat.
Don't forget to tell the customer how many bodies you can put in the trunk!😉
Ah... just like my first sales Manager....and those that follwed,except that guy who got lost in a Moscow nightclub. Now I am a Manager and I am eager to tell not listen...
Where's the Toyota dealer near by.....
Goes to show how times have changed, Looking at the comment section.. Sad day.. The "Boss" has gotten there by being the best. Unlike today, where a kiss-ass can be the "Boss".
But George you dont understand, we American car manufacturers need to focus on making better quality cars or the Japanese will kill us! They will make them of better quality and at a cheaper price.
I can't hear the sound at all!
