    Delivery to Engineering Center - why ?

    Interested in your thoughts as to why a 1968 shipping report would show dealer as "Chevrolet Engineering Center".

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Maybe it was an Engineering manger or execs "buy and drive" which is/was a requirement for all company car drivers. They would drive it for 3months or 3k miles and then buy it at a steep company car discount.

      In 1968, there were 1,200 vehicles in the Chevrolet Engineering Center fleet; about half of them turned over every 3 or 4 months, including a few Corvettes. Some were used for development, and some for "evaluation", and most were "tagged" by an employee for discounted purchase at 3,000 miles. The personnel department handled the "lottery" for employees tagging Corvettes.
