The American auto industry should thank their lucky stars a place like Bakersfield exists. It's all anyone here drives... 'Murkin made and proud of it. I wouldn't be surprised if Bako accounts for a quarter of all Ford sales. I didn't even know they still made Buicks until we moved here. It's quite the 180 from LA where no one would be caught dead driving an American car.
You do see a smattering of Japanese and German cars, but I get the distinct impression they've never fully been forgiven for World War II.
