I've seen a couple here in SWFL, but lots of manufacturers come here to test their vehicles especially when it's winter in MI. I saw the new retro Mustang probably 3 years before it came to market, as well as other Mazdas and stuff with weird camo paint and body cladding to hide the lines of the vehicles. Also, Ford used to own a test facility here out in the Everglades as well so stuff would sneak out of there sometimes into public view.

Pics. Lol. I nab pics all the time but their in full camo. I saw 2 pull out of Delphi HQ last week.
One looked like an avalanche. I saw a de bagged right hand drive Ford one day, the guy thought he’d park in the back, I saw it. It was on the web in 5 min. Lol. I can post th3m here if anyone wants to see pt car stuff. I see them all the time. This Ford doesn’t have that ugly swoopy window. Saw it last winter. Last edited by Burd; 09-26-2020 at 12:50 AM. |

Little off topic but my buddies mom followed a Honda around our town and she even passed it and slowed down so it passed her. Funny part, she swears there was no driver. The Honda plant is in our town. She said it was covered to hide what it was

LOL they still do that stuff today? I hardly see the point since most all this stuff looks identical anymore.

Before GM moved their desert proving ground out to Yuma AZ several years ago, the old one used to be not too far from where I live. I used to see those 'disguised' vehicles driving around out here fairly often.

I used to see some of those test fleets when they stopped to eat at Das Essen Haus in Middlebury Indiana. That was one of their favorite stops when doing test drives. Sadly I don't see them any more, since I'm retired and not traveling for work.

So, Monday for set-up and clean-up, delivery by Tuesday, maybe. SIX weeks after build. He was on a forum Saturday where someone says their car was "built last week and he is driving it today". Add to that posts here stating a week to ten days after build. Transportation logistics or QC excuse may explain a couple week delay, but six weeks?? Bill W |
