Production

In 1921 the factory built 2,500 cars — more than any year before or since. The Registry has found 2 of them, 0.1%.

The factory kept count of every car it built, and owners, one at a time, have told me about theirs. Put the two records side by side and you can see how much of each year is accounted for!

Compare both records by year and model, then follow them into the cars owners have recorded.

10%of the factory total

About one car in ten the factory built is in the Registry. That is recorded coverage, not a survival rate.

Factory figures come from the Registry’s production records. The model histories and the edition sizes above come from these.
