Rudy Fick was a Ford dealer in downtown Kansas City, Missouri, and this pair of post-war Fords for two of his salesman certainly got the point across that he would pay a good price for a used car. The location of his dealership at the time was 1920 McGee Street at 24th Street, and you can view an early 1950s photo of Rudy Fick Ford here. It appears that at the time Fick also sold the Kaiser-Frazer at this location.

The enlarged image (below) shows that the car sales representative Willard Woods drove that was a sign painters nightmare. Covered with lettering it certainly got the point across and we would imagine the sun visors added to the windshield on both cars also carried Fick’s message. The lower photo shows the dealership doing its civic duty by loaning a Ford four-door sedan to the local AAA for use as a driver training car.

You can view a later image of Rudy Fick Ford in the 1950s at 1925 Burlington Street in North Kansas City. Both photos are courtesy of the AACA Library, which is an excellent resource for old car research information.
