Ford Motor Company made cars to make money.Ford branches assembled cars for the dealers,branch managers had license to use what they had to finish enough cars to fill an order to the dealers. It was not about making sure every car had exactly what Dearborn designed,that was the intent,but reality was cash was king,fill the order,get paid..that's how Ford worked.Need 550 cars built today? build 550 cars,in an emergency use what you have on hand to meet the demand.

Railcarmover,
Many thanks for a great reply. I think you are dead on correct in your assessment. I further concur that auto manufacturers are all about profits. My father once worked in assembly and said he wished he had a dollar for every time they were told to throw exhaust parts, bumpers, etc. into the trunk and that the dealer would do it because they had to get them out.
