The American car salesman is both hated and revered.

He is the last of a rare breed - the ultimate maverick.

He walks with confidence and takes offense at direction.

He cannot be left on his own, yet his spirit will not be dominated.

He is free enterprise personified.

The American automobile salesman laughs in the face of affirmative action. He is one of the few workers in society who is paid exactly what he is worth.

While the average person views an hourly wage as security, he disdains it as unnecessary limit on his ability to produce.

He hears negative responses every day, but has never learned the meaning of defeat.

He believes free enterprise was created with him in mind.

He has the instinct of the hunter, coupled with great compassion and kindness. He speaks eloquently and detects the most innocent untruth from his customers.

He would never bow his knee to any king or queen, but has the uncanny ability to treat his customers like royalty.

He is uniquely talented, endowed with savvy that cannot be taught in a classroom.

His spirit is what America was built on.

He is a loner who has difficulty walking in step with others, yet he gravitates towards those who are like him.

He is intensely competitive, nevertheless quick to give a helping hand to a struggling brother.

He is a dealer's biggest liability, yet he is that same merchant's greatest asset.

Some elements of society would like to eliminate him, but have found him to be indestructible.

Without his personality, his smile, his spirit, there would be a giant void in America.
