i've never been involved in the inner working of the gm system but have been on the dealer end. i know of several cars that were "lost" in the delivery cycle. the one that was gone the longest was a late 80's rosewood colored parisienne wagon. loaded car. it was "lost" for over 6 months. the factory said it was shipped, the shipping company never had a manifest. we ended up procuring one from another dealer for the customer who ordered it.

when the car finally showed up the rr tailight was inoperable, when it was pulled out for testing the car had heavy damage repaired on the right side.

things happen, cars / parts get lost, shipped to the wrong place, parked in the wrong areas, ect.

eventually they show up.
