So - to make sure I am following this -

It was found at a GM foundary? Not at the assembly plant or at the Engineering building?

I've been with GM for 29 years now, in both Manufacturing and Engineering. We do keep vehicles to tear down (for inspection) but that is done at an Engineering facility, not a foundary.

We do occasionally lose a vehicle, but that normally occurs at the assembly plant. Sometimes when the repair lot is full it can get lost in the deepest, darkest recesses of the plant. Normally we would just build another identical vehicle to replace it and then usually the other one will turn up at the model changeover (when the lot gets emptied out).

I have seen Medium Duty trucks, lost in the Pontiac plant, with little trees growing up through the frame rails!
