Casey's description makes the most sense to me.
Russ had responded to the definitions in another thread some time ago. Search on "Order Type". You have it right -
Basic - FORD creates vanilla mustangs hoping to sell them
Stock - Dealer ordered mustangs
Retail - Customer ordered mustangs
Kevin mentioned on another web site that there were 20 different order types. A couple others I know of are:
Fleet - Ordered for fleet use
Promotional - I guess the name speaks for itself
and...
Basic Off-Standard Equipment - Vanilla mustang made by FORD hoping to sell, but with a variation (an example variation mentioned was a large batch of 289's, but one with a 390 would be basic off-standard equipment). I am intrigued by what would trigger off-standard equipment.
I would also be interested if anyone else has something different in their "Order Type" on the deluxe or elite report, or if anyone knows the 20 different types.
