Thank you Jeff. You made a very good point regarding pre dealer prep and post dealer prep. I was aware that antennas were shipped in a brown paper bag in the trunk for the dealer to install, but beyond that I am unclear as to where to draw the line here. Is there any documentation on which tags are pre and which are post?
Making matters even more confusing for me, my car was not sold to a dealership, instead it was a Ford Marketing inter company transfer. It was actually shipped in mid June of '73 from Dearborn thru Ford's Newark NJ Preparation Center and then to the recipient, whose name and employee number is printed on the invoice (a Ford employee I suspect) at the Ford Delaware Valley PDC in Pennsauken NJ. According to the Eminger invoice.
Given these circumstances, where is best to draw the line pre dealer, post dealer prep, even though there was no dealer, or some hybrid since it was supposedly prep at the Newark Prep Center?
Thanks again,
Rich
