An inquiry which, may be stated as follows has been received under Regulation W:
"The X Electric Company purchases substantial numbers of automobiles for cash and sells them to its
salesmen on a monthly payment plan, with payments spread
over 12 to 18 months.

The X Electric Company does not

make such sales to anyone except its salesmen.

Is the

X Electric Company 'engaged in the business' as described in section 3(a)? Must these extensions of credit comply with the down-payment and other requirements
of the regulation?"
Both parts of the question should be answered in the affirmative
