Exercise 18

After Automaster Motor Co. bought a Honda from a private owner, it sold the car to Carey's Auto Sales. A Carey's employee went to Automaster, delivered a check in payment for the car, put Carey's dealer's plates on it, and drove it away. While returning to Carey's lot, the employee had on accident. Automaster assigned the title to Carye's several days later. Automaster's and Carey's insurance companies argued that each other was liable for the injuries suffered by Carey's employee. Their liability hinged on which auto dealer owned the Honda. Did Automaster or Carey own the car?
