No, the cars will begin moving Monday, but not all will be leaving the same day. They are staggering the departures to allow for same day arrivals at dealers in the Eastern half of the USA.

Actually I was wondering if say there were 20 cars coming to my center and some arrived on 12/23 and some arrived 1/10, if they would be grouped together. I understand the staggering for same day arrivals.

I e-mailed with the VPC Manager

And he said they were waiting for the announcment and offical release.,

This is copied from his e-mail.

The VPC's did officially get the business of being the processor. The
loose ends are being tied up, but launch is expected any day now. We've
got about 830 in Baltimore right now.

I know him from the Mercedes-Benz Club.

In talking to the dealership, they are expecting 2 truckloads next week. And I am sure they want to get the units into the hands of the owners, so they can get the money in the bank.

Who's the VPC (vehicle processing center I assume)? Is it WWL Baltimore you're talking to?

WWL isn't involved in the Jacksonville or Long Beach deliveries. Mike T at clubsmartcar.ca can't find any WWL ships calling there with smarts.

Some 1173s are tracking their cars at Balto, some arriving this week, some been there since December.
