RJ; yes families/relatives would sometimes "sponsor" or "buy" a vehicle from start to finish and then take possesion of it after it was painted and go straight to the front with it. Whether it was all brothers and a few sisters, uncles, aunts etc... it did happen. What is interesting is alot of them even participated in the manfufacture of it. This was not the norm of course but did take place in 41/42.
