Too Afraid to Ask

A company car is a car that your work gives you to use. In the past, having a car with a six-cylinder engine from your job was seen as very special.

A company car is a vehicle provided by an employer for use by an employee, often as part of a compensation package. In the UK, having a six-cylinder company car was considered prestigious in the 1970s and 1980s.
