I ordered a new 3/4 ton GMC Sierra in 1989. When I went to pick it up, it was backed up in front of the dealership by the showroom entrance. You should have seen the look on the salesman's face when he asked if I liked my truck and I told him "no, that's a half ton out there." As it turned out it had 1500 emblems on the drivers side door and 2500 on the passenger side.

I sold stuff to car dealerships back in the 80's/90's. Seeing GMC Chevrolets was pretty common.

In 79 ordered a new Olds. I was supposed to get in about 6 weeks but got called that the strike would delay my car. I think that it was about 2-3 weeks later I was told that I could pick up my new car. I got there and the car was under a covered portico, went in and signed the final papers and drove it off to Ziebard. Walking to the office I looked back at the ca in the sunlight I noticed a "wave" on the side of the car. The car was a metallic bronze and there was a light colored wave all along the side car---both sides. On closer inspection I noticed all kinds of over spray on the passenger side door jambs. I figured out that the car was sitting on the line,almost finished and the strike began. Must be as the workers walked off the line they took their lunch boxes or whatever and scratched it all along both sides of the car. After the strike they must have noticed it and sidetracked the car for a hurried repair. After a big "go around" I finally ordered a different car in Yellow.
