Hi George, I bet some dealers did do that but if they got caught, oh boy!. I found out a while back that tires and sugar and gas wern't the only things rationed.

Unsold vehicles and PARTS! at the factory and also dealers were to go to the gov first or to essential personell (one example defence factory workers and State side officials) , no sales to non essential customers. I have seen a copy of the letter that was sent out, and it sounded like they meant it.

That is the only reason there are so many war time tractors out there. There are very few cars or trucks left.
