I am not sure if this info is of any help, but I will share it anyway. When I was 17 I worked at a Chevrolet dealer called Circle Chevrolet, Shrewsbury, New Jersey (by the way Circle once sold a L88 Vette that was featured in "Vette" magazine). I was responsible for car check-in. Here is the procedure for check in, (I was informed that most Chevy dealers did it the same) the car carrier would come in, the driver would hand you the manifests, you would inspect the cars for dents, scratches, damage, missing parts, etc.. You would check for stolen items, jack, tools, floor mats, radios, blah-blah-blah, you get the idea. Park them in a row and go inside and check them against the order sheet and get stock #s from the controller. Here is the point, the cars were always checked in in their order of arrival no matter of model or anything else. The office always wanted the cars in order of arrival so that the dates would match so that the floor plan (GMAC) would be correct. I hope that this gives you some helpful insight on your topic.
