I believe he was just one of the regional representives in charge of the western zone,so anything special had to go through him,and be billed/recorded accordingly.
A Brass Hat vehicle was one tapped for corporate use first.The reasons for this vary from anything like monitoring quality control,to a public demonstrator,to special favortism.
The zone 36 billing address backs this up as well as the 000 dealer code.
Technically Chevrolet Utah paid for it first,then it was delivered to Merrill Bean Chevrolet,and most likely driven around for a few months by a GM/Chevrolet employee,then later sold to a public consumer.
G R Browns name appears on other similar vehicles paperwork delivered out there as well.

"this 1970 chevelle ss454 was built in april of 1970 in los angeles, ca and delivered to merrill bean chevrolet (now john watson chevrolet) in ogden, utah. its first owner purchased it late in 1970"
Someone should hip this cat to the history of his car because clearly he doesn't know what it started out as.
If it retains the born in driveline that's a pretty good deal on a documented LS6 house car.Ole GR had quite a few courtesy cars,I think I have at least two other coupe sheets of his.
