If you have any kind of fame and/or public recognition, you can easily make high six figures in retail sales, be it realty, insurance, cars, or the like.
Immediate ice-breaker, lead-generator, and comfort-level provider that the lay-salesperson will never have.
In essence, the client "pays" to add a public figure as a "friend" - everyone wins! Wise choice, Mac, as we are all whores in some way anyhow. Shake what ya got.
This is all true, Mac should probably announce his new job publicly on his FB as he has thousands of followers and if they are in the market for a Ford truck, they would go out of their way to find him at the dealership.
Seriously Mac, you could make a decent living with this gig as lead generation is the name of the game.
Also, the advantage of selling cars over insurance, houses, etc is there is no courses needed, no state licensing, no dues, and no continuing education requirements that serve as hefty, hindering and annoying overhead on the other sales professions.
You also make less money and there are no residuals.

Of course, the drip on selling heavy equipment, etc is probably a lot bigger per unit, but with the more expensive items, you may need more technical knowledge and/or experience.
My childhood buddy, on a whim (after seeing the movie 'Step-Brothers', I believe), decided he wanted to look into selling helicopters. I told him I didn't know anybody who did that, and that he should Google or make some calls around to see how to get in to that profession. He found that there are pretty much two types of people who are able to sell choppers: Mechanical Engineers and former military/pilots. lol dead end for my bud. Now he is a union carpenter.
Anyhow, Mac, I like how you are looking to do something new, whilst doing something old, whilst also looking to grow.
As I see it, I really think you should approach the Webb boys about doing a daily show LIVE right from their showroom floor. They would fund the show, and it would be an incredible draw. Even on the internet, I think it would be a huge hit, and it would bring droves of people into the showroom. It would be like having a remote every day.
No it isn't. That's the mentality that will have you broke and out of sales quickly. Singles and doubles are the way to go to sustain a decent income. The home runs always come. What's a home run commission for a new car? $500?
