Car dealership podium

A car dealership podium is a vehicle shop pedestal that Sims can buy cars from in The Sims 2: Open for Business and The Sims 3: Into the Future, and can also sell cars from in The Sims 2: Open for Business.
==The Sims 2: Open for Business==
The Show My Ride Display by Exotremo Cars is a type of display surface introduced in The Sims 2: Open for Business. It is found under Surfaces → Misc., and is only available on community lots. It is the only surface, other than driveways and driveway extensions, that a car can be placed on, and the only one that is available on community lots.
The Show My Ride Display allows players to place cars on owned community lots, which makes it possible for a Sim to go into business as a car dealer. Since it only functions as a display surface, Sims cannot drive onto it or off of it. A Sim who buys a car from a business will not be able to use it until the player takes it out of the Sim's inventory and places it on a driveway.
While the display can be placed on an unowned community lot, cars cannot be purchased on community lots until Wholesale mode is enabled. A car dealership, as such, cannot be run from an unowned community lot, and can only be stocked on owned community lots.
==The Sims 3: Into the Future==
Typically associated with gallery shops, but can be placed on any community lot. It displays and sells Into the Future's hovercars at the same prices as in Buy Mode. If the Sim is not pleased with the car on the stand, they can choose "Request New Object" to change the display to a different hovercar.

The Dais for Days Retail Display Pedestal can be set in Buy Mode to its "Travel" theme so it can sell (and only sells) hover scooters, as is done by default with one of those pedestals in EP-XI Imports Gallery, but it is not considered by the game to be a vehicle podium in its own right.
