John,
oldgoat1 of NC - his father worked in Zone Sales/Distributing Office.
Maybe not much of a role in these Export Order deals - unless their final destination was within that zone.
The ones that went across waters probably never saw any Zone handling of car or order or final paperwork.
I also saw before that not only the actual military personnel - but also their direct family members (mother father wife child - maybe even brothers and sisters) would also qualify for the discount.
This was from GM literature - but more current - maybe the 90's.
Could have been the same in the 60's-70's too.
---------------------------------------
=======================
What i noticed is Jumbs invoice has a misc. $14.75 charge under Invoice Number
The 73 London does not have anything there.
The $14.75 may have been for Dealer Prep
Something that "might" help in future to identify which ones went and which ones stayed here.
All my other export examples are 70-older
Nothing else to properly compare to these 73 / 74 examples.
On 1969 and 1970 Invoices (and maybe further up to 1972)
There is an Export Charge on Invoices
Cars that left the country have the full $15.00 Charge
Cars that stayed within USA - range from $1.00 to $5.00
Looks like at minimum , in 1973 (and maybe a little further back to 1971)
they stopped the EXPORT CHARGE fee altogether.
The vast majority of cars that left - also had KILO speedometers.
The charge was so minimal ($0.12) they may have stopped charging up for that also when they dropped the export charge.
The defining clues are becoming scarcer.
