In this note we give an easier proof of the known result that the car sequencing problem is NP-hard, and point out that it is NP-hard in the strong sense. We show that a previous claim of NP-completeness is incorrect, and instead we give a sufficient condition of membership of NP. We also provide a pseudo-polynomial algorithm for a special case.
