Make that 1 to 1,579, I saw a shell of one in a salvage yard 5 years
ago, so atleast one has gone to the great show in the sky.......

A fellow told me that's what he read, but a source I looked at a while back (can't recall where) claimed only 7,256 Polara 500s were made in 1963 -- of both hardtops and convertibles. Which makes more sense to me. (Somewhere around that 7,256 figure anyway, depending on source material used.)  Maybe the article meant 5 max wedge Polara 500 converts?
