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.
