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

A friend of mine bought an 87 Monte Carlo SS in late 1988 at a big dealer. He saw the car on the back of the lot from the Interstate. He asked about it and nobody knew anything about it. They finally found the file on it.
