judge ship date:
You have to remember that not all the cars were trucked to the dealers from the plant directly. They used to ship them by rail to railheads and then truck them so that might explain a small gap in the dates from when the car left the factory and when it got to the dealer. Depending on where the car came from and where it was going to and don't forget that some of them were probably damaged in transit and had to be fixed before they showed up to the dealer.
Taking all that into consideration I'm sure you can understand the gap in time between cars leaving the factory and arriving at the dealer.I'm sure they stockpiled the cars either at the factory or railheads and then shipped them to the dealers when they had a full truckload going to that area. Also when did the press release say they would be available? That would have alot to do with it too.
Just my two cents worth......
