Question So what constitutes a factory built car ?

I was skimming through one of the Kit Car publications and noticed that a couple ads seem to refer to "Factory built". It made me stop and think about just exactly what makes their cars factory built. Is it because they are physically built in a factory so now they can say they were built in a factory?. Or maybe they are built on an assembly line just as Ford or GM cars are with union labor. To me, a factory built car means the product comes comeplete with all the componants and ordered options. This also would include all the required safety equipment and crash impact tests. At least that's what I think a factory built car is to me.
I could be wrong about all this but that seems to be the key word in selling Preassembled kits without engines and trans' these days.
If it would help me sell more cars I guess I would use the word Factory too.
