I could be way off here, maybe you could plop down $62 and run the plant through all those hoops but that seems improbable. Might have been a dealer with some influence or an influential GM retiree or for a relative of a GM exec. Was the original delivering dealer listed as a conventional dealer? Temple, TX does seem like an out-of-the-way place for anyone that would have been employed by GM or an ad agency at the time. Any info that you can provide might give some insight into the car's history.

No doubt in my mind that this car was built for someone special. Definitely a GM executive or similar deal. That's why I remarked earlier about the cowl tag date vs. the invoice date. My money's on a long lag time between the cowl tag and invoice dates. Meaning it was driven with an open MSO for some period of time.
Let's hear more about that invoice - dated significantly later than the cowl tag?
