Gm brass hat owned cars

[StealthBird]

One other point I'd like to make. I often see listings on E-Bay and other places where a car may have 25+ options, and the seller assumes it's a "brass hat" car. Just because the car was ordered with a lot of options does not automatically mean it was ordered by a high ranking GM executive. General Motors also built trains, trucks, buses, etc., and the executives within those divisions also ordered cars. There were thousands of GM executives around the world.

The term "brass hat" was more of a slang term used by dealers when an executive driven car, well equipped, was sold through their dealership. It makes the car more attractive to a buyer when a customer thinks an "executive" special ordered the car, it has a lot of options, and they're buying it at a discount. But also remember, an executive driven car doesn't necessarily mean a babied and pampered car.
