Overview

Louie is an affable used-car salesman who shares with the audience his ideas on obsolescence, using gimmicks in razor blades, changing fashions in clothes, and tail-fins on cars in the 1950's as examples. He encourages us to use "the power of the buck" to buy quality and not support obsolescence.
