Anybody know anything about this?

[anlauto]

That's pretty cool ... @6bblgt  Dan any thoughts ?

[Cuda Cody]

That's super cool.  Never seen one of those made out to the Promo Office before.   

[RUNCHARGER]

Hmm: That could be for a T.V. or movie car or a car loaned to a racer. Is the car originally gold?

[Cudino]

Very cool!  Yes, I've seen that kind of document before.  As Sheldon mentioned I've seen this sort of document for cars ordered for use on TV, such as orders by Paramount studios (which in those other documents "Paramount Studios" appeared under the section "Owner's Name").  On this document the "owner" is Chrysler Corp, so this may have been ordered by Chrysler directly for some sort of public relations use. 

What is the VON#?  The VON is the sequence of digits on the fender tag to the right, on the second row up from the bottom just above the 6 digit VIN#.  I think this sequence will start with an "R". 

Any details about the car?  Sheldon's question about the color gold is a good question, and another possibility is red. 

Dan and Ola will surely be able to provide more info.
