That's a good point, too: sometimes there are production "monuments" in the plant that would not permit certain combinations to be built there.
In the full size truck world, Flint Assembly could build all combinations (ie, 2wd, 4wd, 10,20,30 series, regular cab and crew cab) but did not have the width to build dual rear wheeled vehicles. Those went to Janesville.
When the dealer orders came into Central Office they were meted out to the final assembly location somewhat based on geography, but also based on which plants could handle which option content.
