Watched a two hour DVD that combined several Ford films on the introduction of the Model A and how it was built. However, the real interesting segment was on the dealership, service and financing. We all know that Ford controlled everything from raw materials to the final product. What was news to me was the financing and insurance that Ford provided to buyers through the dealership. While today's dealers also offer these services, they are third party transactions. The film showed a customer being reimbursed for the 1000 mile check up done by another dealer as the owner was on vacation. Obviously the 500, 1000 and 1500 miles check ups were either buried in the price of the car or sold as an extra feature.
