GM Management and the foundry
Some of the brightest people I have ever met are in management at GM. BUT, GM is the number two organization for square footage under roof. The US Fed Govt is first (remember the warehouse where the Ark of the Covenant was stored in Indiana Jones)
GM does not have a warehouse like that but they have the first Pontiac stashed at the Heritage Center. I will post a picture soon.
As far as losing cars is concerned, GM employes do not shoulder this burden all by them selves. Other companies are more than willing to do it for GM. A GM security guy was involved in a many years late delivery of a freight car containing 4 1948 Cadillacs.
This might be urban legend and I have no proof or disproof of the story at this date as the only connection I had has passed on. But, it was a great story.
Before the Pontiac Foundry was demolished, that whole area was filled with niches and cubbyholes, any one of which was a hiding place. There are common processes for cases where an ordered car is not delivered... build a new one and file an insurance claim. (or self insure)
