As well, assembling the parts into a complete vehicle and shipping it is less costly than shipping the individual parts un-assembled and stocking them until they're needed. A car built from replacement parts would cost about 5x as much.

I just noticed that car's shadow. The running boards were ventilated as well. Drag racing in the 1950s was about seeing what worked and what didn't.
