such as ``passenger cars'' or ``brake fluid.''
    (2) In the case of multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, and

    (3) In the case of motor vehicles produced in two or more stages, if 
the manufacturer is an incomplete vehicle manufacturer, the description 
shall so state and include a description indicating the stage of 
completion of the vehicle and, where known, the types of use for which 
the vehicle is intended.

from 8,000 to 12,000 pounds. Final-stage manufacturer--add body to bare
