[Canuck]

I have bought several vehicles over the past 10 years( Modern vehicles)that were delivered to other dealers initially, in dealer parlance its called a DX or dealer exchange. In most cases particularly back in the 60 and 70s the inventory was actually owed by GMAC until the car was sold.
Unless the car was ordered or "customer waiting" a creative salesman could get a car from most any dealer. A friend ordered a new 1968 442 from an east coast dealer and picked it up from Gorries in Toronto, the drove it home 1800 miles. GM Canada shows Gorries on their paperword.
