At least in the late 60's & up into the 70's numerous Pontiac Zone employees had the ability to drive well loaded new models as demonstrators. Wasn't just the top managers. In the late Summer of '68, my Dad (worked for GMAC) special ordered our family's '69 Executive 428 6 pass wgn. Dad set it up so local zone 20 Pontiac rep (friend) drove the Executive wagon for 2 months. A great deal as this zone rep was in and out of Pontiac dealerships all over & could get any bugs worked out immediately. Previously, Dad had managed a similar deal with the same zone rep to drive what would my grandmother's '66 Ventura. Years later, when my parents moved N of OKC to Edmond, the Pontiac zone mgr & Pontiac zone distribution manager both lived in my folks neighborhood. Both zone execs drove new '81 Daytona Pacecars for a few months.
