I was recieving And Set up on cars at my Pontiac Dealer. I signed off on the bill of lading, which looked just like a build sheet, in triplicate. All cars condition and parts, wheel covers, etc, had to be there to sign for the delivery. If it ran like crap, it did not matter. During set up you could put in a warranty claim. I know this, the special models like pace cars were a low quality build on most cars. By ' 79 there were as many or more birds coming off the line as Camaros. One a minute basically. Lots of ordered cars came late due to the unfinished car lot being so busy with problems. Many people think things are all cut and dry. We had to lock up floor mats, pull off wheels with full size tires, owner's manuals, wheel covers, etc due to SALES . This started because new cars came through missing owner's manuals, decals, mats, etc. Replacement paperwork was a Long time coming. Lots of interesting memories ..
