Factory Road test document

Does anybody else have one of these documents? Our Thunderbird was randomly selected at the factory for a road test. Looks like 365 miles, but actually 36.5 miles. Factory road test.jpg

Mine was on the floor. It says 29.4 miles.

I have every sticker that was on the car when taken off the delivery truck, but stupidly, I didn't take pictures of where they were placed. DUH!!!

What are the dimensions of this precious document?

Did the cars receive these when the execs would drive the new cars home for testing?

[yelobird2002]

I'll have to measure it, but eyeballing I'd say about 2 1/4" X 4"

I mocked up the doc if anyone is interested in a copy of their own.

These were mentioned way back in 2001 when these cars were being released. some of the cars on the line were tested for any problems when the assembly was finished. It was random. The note would have been in the car for the owner. More found these notes near the beginning than towards the end of the 2002s. Factory miles on my car was only 4 miles which was more the norm by June 2002. when delivered to the dealership. My salesman took mine for a test drive after prep was done and found the AC wasn't working properly so it ended up in the repair shop to get fixed. That delayed our receiving the car by a couple of hours along with the delay caused because I forgot to bring the checkbook and had to return home to bring it back!! by Then there were 11 miles on the car when we signed the paperwork. I think most or all of the NMs were showing approx 50 miles on their cars due to road testing early in production.
