The driveawuys were made u dralers within a r;ulius i.f -'..a' mileu of the factory at Toledo who came to the factory rather than wait for the. slower method of tak ing delivery by freight.

Advance designat ton of orders for specific cars were in the hands of the driveaway delivery division upon which devolved the: necessity for properly entering the sales orders and assigning the car units by serial and motor number. Papers arranging for the taking of the car by the dealer were pre pared in anticipation of his arrival. Installation of equipment, both regular and special in accordance with the dealer's orders, was taken care uf in advance of the coming of the men who were to drive the cars away. This introduced an element in the factory shippin;; division which is ordinarily taken, care of by the service department of the dealer's own organization. Installation of dealer's local license plates and arrangements for payment of the cars as they were turned over, as well as the lining up of the cars tu avoid con fusion in delivery, were problems in organization which had to be attended to fiT nrtvrtnee. y j Ten hours-lifter the fh-sii . in th" driveaway. had rolled ..ituay under its own power, 'ear number MS oMhe record breaking quniher r . 1 ,1, iivm-v mill hH.-i established at Hygge. to thfc r"t:ii:biii-r. an(, hrtVl. u atinUu Ht." i.l Norway s '"' ,.!ty put "f U. tonHjfartificlalsiUg Graaeci, lumber; Y4 means you get just what you pay for.'
