My father was a representative for Kaiser Jeep Canada from the mid 50's to 1970 when AMC took over . Dad said he did not like the direction American Motors was heading and that it was a toxic work environment so he left at that time. During his time as a rep for Jeep Canada as part of his employment he was permitted to order a new vehicle demonstrator probably every 3 to six months. In those days cars were not marketed as they are today and there was no LE or LS luxury or sport package that is common today. Each option was ordered individually and the factory would build the vehicle as ordered for the customer or in dads case the employee. It was very common in those pre cell phone , laptop days for mistakes to happen. In dads case The order was taken over the phone and hand written by someone at the factory . Dad was often frustrated to find the car he had ordered was not appointed as he had specified. If he asked for A/C or power windows he may get a Wagoneer with wind up windows and no A/C etc. For the most part he took it in stride. For some reason they never seemed to get the colour correct. If he ordered a blue Wagoneer he would get a red one etc. He must have been particularly frustrated one day as a young boy I recall listening to him on the phone to Toledo
ordering his new demonstrator. The whole family was laughing in stitches when he was overheard on the phone saying-------- " what colour? .....you want to know what colour? what the hell difference does it make what colour I want , you guys are all colour blind down there anyway"
