I told the story one time about how vehicles would get lost out there, sometimes to the point that we would re-build a new vehicle with the same content and ship it in place of the original. The lost ones usually turn up at model changeover when production ceases and the repair backlog gets worked down.

I think that photo demonstrates how that might happen.

Here are the rest of the photos taken during that same shoot: http://www.73-87.com/7387info/Assembly%20Line.htm
