That is correct.

If the latter I think I'd ask for enclosed shipping.

Drop shipping does not get you an enclosed trailer, unfortunately. The only cars Ford has sent in enclosed trailers in the 9 years I've worked here has been 2005-6 Ford GT supercars and 2007-8 Shelby GT's (but not the GT500's). That's probably because they aren't shipped to the dealerships from the factory, but from a "ship-thru" vendor (Saleen did final striping on the GT's at their shop and Shelby did the conversions on SGT's at their shop).
