This story is kind of the same thing, but just as well a perk from the dealer. I ordered a 69 W-30 442, black w/gold stripes and white interior while in Vietnam. It was to be delivered to the local Olds dealership in Shawano, Wi. My wife and brother went to that dealership and they pretty much told them because it was considered a HotRod and not ordered thru them – NO way could it be dropped there. So they went to Bob White Olds in Green Bay and they said – no problem. Well the 442 was delivered on a Wednesday (don’t remember the date) and the wife received a call from them with that news. They also asked a favor if she would wait until the following Monday to pick it up – seems there was a new car show at the Green Bay arena and Bob White’s 442 did not show up in time. The wife gave them the OK. They took that 442 to their body shop and worked over the paint – it now had awesome mirror reflective black paint and put on display. They had to add a sign that indicated “SOLD” because so many people wanted to buy it. A salesman told my wife they sold many 442s as a result of that display.
I realize this is not exactly like this thread was reading but only wanted to show what a dealer did to “sweeten up” how a car looked.
Happy Independence Day ALL!! TAZ
