Complex four color playing board reminiscent of the game "Sorry". Car manufacturer's are assigned to players; Plymouth, Ford, Chevrolet, and Studebaker. Individual parts placed in corners, move around the board entering the blocked white assembly line. Center is called "storage". In fact it's very close to "Sorry". Business "hazards" hamper your attempts to assemble the vehicles. First to have three completes cars in the center, wins. Fairly straight forward. Lot and lots and lots of parts.
