Trying to make some sense of these production numbers. I think it depends who is counting, and what they are counting.



Parade in Flint Michigan November 1954

I believe this is the 50 millionth vehicle built at the Tarry Town, New York plant. I'm sure better information is out there somewhere. For now I'll just enjoy the pictures! Showing this one again just because it is in color.
