Concerning how employee bought vehicles were assembled. At IH back when they built Scouts, they would allow the employee that ordered the Scout to walk the assembly line as the the vehicle was built. However they had to stop that process as for popular well known employees as the Scout was being built the assembly line workers regardless of how the vehicle was suppose to be built, theywould install high end options. For example if an AM radio was specified they would put in the top of the line AM FM. Standard interior, no,, the line workers would put in a Deluxe interior, chrome wheels in place of steel wheels and so forth. It would cost more to send the vehicle to repair to get it changed back so they stopped the practice of allowing employees to watch their Scout being built.
