Not much to tell here - I worked for about 1 year as a salesman at San Gabriel Ford in San Gabriel, California, just after leaving the USMC.
At one point I won a local competition for outstanding product knowledge, beating out much more experienced sales staff at comparing various Ford products to domestic or import competitors. I believe we received a 25" color TV and a $500 award - which was big news back in 1989 when I had just gotten married!
In reality - San Gabriel Ford was just a place holder until I could complete the 1-year hiring process at McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Company. Sadly the car company was sold after many decades in operation, and is now operating under the name New Century Ford.
