This book takes you on my journey of becoming a car dealer. It offers a bird's-eye view of the automobile industry. It evaluates the conditions under which I and many other Black car dealers operate in order to determine why so many of us failed. In 2005 there were 751 new car franchise-rooftops1 owned by African Americans. As of December 2017, that number declined drastically to 270, out of a total of 19,284 American new car franchise-rooftops. In 2005, black car dealers accumulated billions of dollars in wealth; unfortunately, they lost most of it when the recession ended in 2009. Yet African Americans continue to purchase new cars in record numbers. African Americans purchased 1,105,931 new cars in 2015, with gross revenue of $35,357,792,000, most of which went to white car dealers. With an annual growth rate of 9.4%, it's estimated that African Americans will purchase over 1.5 Million New Cars in 2020, with gross reveue surpassing $50 Billion!With African Americans owning only 1.4% of car dealerships nationwide, can we afford to give $50 Billion dollars of our hard-earned income every freaking year to folks who don't look like us? $50 Billion dollars circulating within the African American community can go a long way and will do wonders for African Americans! It will create jobs with fair incomes and will allow Blacks to purchase houses that appreciate in value instead of simply buying cars that depreciate. Ultimately, it will allow Blacks to build wealth. After all, it's our damn money! In September of 1992, at the age of 36, after a 10-year career as a Business Consultant for Ford Motor Company and a Ford Dealer Trainee, I joined the ranks of the Black car dealers in America and became the proud owner of a Lincoln Mercury franchise in St. Louis, Missouri. Five years later, like the majority of Black car dealers, I lost my franchise.Dealing chronicles the emotional highs and lows I experienced both before and after becoming a Black car dealer.

"We are overstocked and that is our problem, but it can be good for you as prices have never been lower" says the nice man in the television ad. Or " It is Tax time and we have to get rid of 100 cars this week before the tax man comes." The perils of purchasing a car are discussed in this short narrative, which is dedicated to the American Auto Sales Industry. Cars should be labeled like cigarette packages as being harmful to your health. People fear the task of buying a car, much the same as giving a speech in public. It ranks with fear of Death. Yet like the lemming that continually march to the sea, people continually march to the lot and are the gluttons for the product. The ordeal is sometimes traumatic but never dull. The advertising, the sales gimmicks and chicanery of the auto business are reveled in this humorous anecdotal account of "Car Man." The fantasies and greed of the owners to the avarice of the sales managers are exposed to the naked eye. Reading is believing, times change, models change, years go by but car man's tactics remain constant. The inner life of the "Car Man" is exposed in a humorous tongue in cheek approach. The author attempts through personal knowledge to tell the public of the inner workings of the auto sales business. The life and times of "CAR MAN." His methods, his lifestyle, his basic motivations are laid bare to the public in this expose. Beginning with the history of the automobile and its influence on the lifestyles of the southwest in the early parts of the 20th century taking into account the daily boring grind of the auto salesperson to the final excitement of the closing. The endless cold and lonely hours out on the "LOT." Car man's environment. His social habits as well as his Sociopathy. Looking at the inner secrets of the auto dealership to include: "invoices" the most treasured artifact of the auto business. Documents that the CIA cannot see. Compared to this in-depth treatise the inner workings of the Masonic Lodge are general knowledge and mundane. Then taking the reader a step further so as to look at the futuristic marketing of "autofliers" the Buick or Oldsmobile of the future. Looking at artificially maintained atmospheres in biospheric domes. We will discover that in spite of adverse elements, CAR MAN will adapt and prevail.

This study chronicles the success of the Japanese car in America. Starting with Japan's first gasoline-powered car, the Takuri, it examines early Japanese inventors and automotive conditions in Japan; the arrival of Japanese cars in California in the late 1950s; consumer and media reactions to Japanese manufacturers; what obstacles they faced; initial sales; and how the cars gained popularity through shrewd marketing. Toyota, Honda, Datsun (Nissan), Mazda, Subaru, Isuzu, and Mitsubishi are profiled individually from their origins through the present. An examination follows of the forced cooperation between American and Japanese manufacturers, the present state of the industry in America, and the possible future of this union, most importantly in the race for a more environmentally-sound vehicle.

In this unique and lively ethnography of women who sell cars, sociologist Helene M. Lawson and the “ladies on the lot” take readers behind the scenes of one of the last bastions of a predominantly male workplace: the car dealership. Linking the women’s own stories within the broader framework of gender and occupation, Lawson presents an engaging and important case study on the impact of gender differences and behavior in the workplace. In doing so, Ladies on the Lot makes an original contribution to the field and will be of interest for a wide variety of courses, including gender and occupations, the sociology of work, the sociology of women, and various courses in women’s studies and qualitative methods.
