NCRS Query

[Damien]

Received the NCRS documents today for my Chevelle and had a couple of questions to put to you guys.
I have the POP, dealer invoice, build sheet etc for this car that tells me the car was sold at Central Chevrolet in Atlanta Ga. My NCRS report tells me that the car was originally delivered to Roy Davis Chevrolet/Olds in Calhoun Ga, approximately 65 miles away. Now I have read here and elsewhere that, as still happens today with new cars, there was a bit of horse trading between dealers for stock and the seller of the vehicle was not always the dealer that ordered the car. Here is where it gets cloudy for me, as the build sheet has Central Chevrolet on it, GM has had the order placed by that dealer? If this is the case how could it have been delivered to Roy Davis in the first place? If the order for the car to be built was from Central what part, if any, does Roy Davis play in this? The production date on the NCRS report is 08/15/69 and the scheduled number date on the build sheet in box 10 reads 53 08-14. So they are close.
Like all things, I go into the whole paperwork scenario with my eyes open knowing something may not always be as it seems. I also could be missing something as a lot of this is a learning process for me.
I'll open it up to the floor. Your opinions are appreciated.

Dealer trade, then they decided they wanted to sell the car after all-Zone rep was involved in the order

There is also the possibility of a "Courtesy Delivery". Mainly used for fleet accounts, courtesy deliveries are when a unit was ordered and sold by one dealer and the car gets shipped to and delivered from a different dealership. The original ordering dealership is credited with the sale.

Maybe they misread the dealer code on the microfilm? If it was a courtesy delivery, it would have said so on the build sheet. Sounds like something isn't right.

I agree, ask them to recheck the information, it could be when they looked up the dealer name,the directory they used was not current or they might have misread the dealer number on the converted microfiche.

Did you try to confirm that the dealer number they supplied is the same as the dealer number on your documents?

I will ask the question to confirm the NCRS info is correct.
The NCRS dealer number is 154 in Zone 8. Buildsheet dealer number is 97 in Zone 8.
Interested in any comments regarding the build sheet.

My gut says this is an issue, even today cars are delivered is much different than the way the system worked in 1970, similar but much different. However even today a car gets billed to the purchasing GM dealer and all of the paperwork shows that dealer, dealer trades do not get new build sheets or new window stickers and for that mater neither do drop ship/courtesy deliveries, paperwork all shows original purchasing dealer. Your paperwork show a different dealer than the GM records, that is an issue.

You are correct Roy. That was my initial point. It seems to be back to front which tells the tale.
