POP shows a Zone office as the first owner

[StealthBird]

I have dozens of examples of Pontiac invoices showing the dealer being one of the many Pontiac Zone Offices. A zone car was usually loaded up with options, and as stated above they were typically driven by a Zone Rep for a few months. The Zone Rep may use the car to visit various Pontiac dealers in the area to promote the specific model. Because these cars were frequently loaded with options it gave dealers the opportunity to see various option groups, engine options, or models that they may not typically see. In some cases the car may be used in parades, auto shows, and other promotions.

When the Zone Rep was finished with the car (the car wasn't actually sold yet) it would be sold to a dealer and a second invoice was cut. Because the car already had some miles on it, there was a 5% discount applied. The dealer would then sell the car to a customer.
