Gm brass hat owned cars

[bergy]

Final thought - company cars that were purchased by employees after completing their 3,000 miles were sent to a local dealer for delivery prep, title, financing, etc. I assumed that these cars were also referred to as "brass hat" deliveries. Kurt is probably correct though - brass hat may only have applied to the company cars that weren't purchased by salaried employees.

I had occasion to lose a company car when I took a bunch of engineers from the Tech Center over to the Leeds Plant for a drive audit of the new Monte Carlo ('76?). There was a flash flood in downtown KC while we were there eating dinner and my company car floated away! One less brass hat! The entire OK car lot also flooded and totaled hundreds of new cars.

Bergy - I lost one, too!

I was awaiting a 2011 Volt from the Hamtramck plant, which we were going to convert into a 2012 Opel Ampera for the show circuit (we were scheduled to do a quantity of 20 total).

About that same time President Obama was scheduled to visit the assembly plant. The plant planners asked if they could keep my car for a couple days, so they would have a Volt on display during his visit.

Everything was going swimmingly until Mr President went rogue, hopped in my car and drove it about 10 feet.

Ed Whitacre pointed at it and said: &quot;...that car....Heritage Center&quot;.

So - my Volt donor vehicle is now sitting on display in the GM Heritage Center.
