This article from the WSJ explains the batching up of production runs, storage of bulk unsold cars, idling of plants until the glut is sold. It's a cycle.

I worked at the Port of Los Angeles for a while, and every so often a car-carrying ship would come in. A crew of men would drive cars off the ship into a parking lot, then run back into the ship and do it again until the parking lot was full or the ship was empty. It was pretty cool to watch.
