Just received my Shipping Report. I have a 1965 Corvette Coupe with 15 factory options. It was shipped to GM Design Group MI. Any idea why it was shipped shipped there?

A company car to be driven by an executive in the Design Center, as a fringe benefit of the job?

Commonly called a "brass hat" car? Nice.

Employees would drive the cars for a certain # of miles fill out a report & turn them in or could buy them to keep.

GM employees who got a company car as a perk also had an annual requirement to buy one so they would order a car drive it and then buy it at a bigger discount due to the mileage. They would then flip it the next year and would quite often end up ahead of the game financially particularly with Corvettes.

How do you know the options are factory and have not been added by previous owners?
