Agree.

Cars provided by the DPG would normally have an Arizona M plate; cars from either Milford or the Tech Center would have a Michigan M plate.

I recall that California did not have "reciprocity" with Michigan/Arizona when it came to plates, so they may have been playing it straight in this case. Or maybe the cars were provided by a California zone office.

In any case - we used to just blow right through when doing press shows or powertrain testing in California, without regard to which plates were hanging on the vehicle.

The tooling used to break the punches off and you would run scrap until somebody noticed.

Back then you could be paid for suggestions that were implemented, with payment coming through the GM Suggestion Program.

He made enough money from suggestions on that part alone that he paid cash for our new '69 GMC pickup.
