In the early 60's dad and a car full of guys used to drive to the Dandenong plant and not just pick up but also pick out the cars they would each drive home that week. They would talk to the line workers and ask which were the best cars and even help put some together while they waited.
They usually went on a Wednesday as the best cars were built that day. The drive back north to the dealership formed part of the pre-delivery check.
