Gm brass hat owned cars

[bergy]

That's true Kurt. Within the company, we just called them "company cars". They became "brass hat" if they were taken out of company service without a salaried employee claiming them. Remember though, the number of company cars in service at any one time had to be multiplied by 4 for the model year. So, there would be about 5,000 company vehicles for the model year (just for Chevrolet). The best deal on a company car was the "last round" - you would get an additional 10% off plus another 10% if the vehicle got to 10,000 miles. Pool cars weren't always taken out of service in a timely manor on last round, so some of them accumulated a lot of miles.
