As you said test cars,to prove their road wortheness.The test before full production could resume,just like vin 502 had to prove the wortheness of a turbo setup.Other cars had to prove the cooling system,emissions, ect.Not to put down the Bricklin(i own one)But you guys remember,what happened with the Bricklin,car Vin 0001 went straight to the dealers,and all the cars following went straight to the dealers,a big fiesco,unfinished cars,cars with major problems were brought by customers,right from the beginning,totally ruined the Bricklin image,from day one,or vin 0001.JZD learned from that experiance,so just put two and two together,and you can see why the first lot of cars were not released to the general public,and QAC was formed in these shores.
