I also received this notification over the weekend, strange?

As for it's show history the shipping dates and ship to location don't mean much as many zone ordered cars were shipped to zone lots. None of this means your car wasn't used for show or magazine work, just that it does seem rather unlikely since it was invoiced to a dealer on january 30th, the week it was built. Special use cars tend to have a first PHS invoice to PMD engineering or marketing etc and then a second PHS some month's later to a dealer (with a discount notation marked on the invoice). If you think about it why would a dealer accept being invoiced in January at full price and paying for it within 5 days but only receiving it three months later as a now used and abused car?

I have documents for other Framingham cars with earlier VIN's, earlier trimtag dates and earlier ship dates. Actually 3 plants (B, G, Z) involved in early Judge production have similar start dates with 01B-01C tag dates and invoice dates starting the 23rd of January. The A and R plants seem to have started later (01E and early feb invoices).
