This is a little off topic but I thought it was a good place to share. About 10 or 12 years ago I did as set of horns for a guy who was a Quality control engineer for Oldsmobile in the 70s. He said the quality control was bad nothing like today and it was not uncommon for 20 or 30 % of the cars coming off the line needing some type of repair. Any major repairs were taken and parked in a repair lot, sometimes 500 or more cars. Cars that were "Customer Order" got priority and they would rob cars on the repair lot of whatever they needed to get those repaired. He said even engines , carbs , anything because it was faster than going through the request procedure. Some cars got robbed so bad they were almost shells. When those cars were finally repaired they could have parts dated after the build of the car.
