Re: [FWDLK] Production numbers question

[fins59 <fins59@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

According to my Chrysler catalog total production for 1956 was 996. This is
the Adventurer sub-series which article says was a 2-dr H.T. Coupe-6P.
1957 2-dr H.T. Cpe-6P was 1650 and 2 dr conv Cpe-6P was 300.   Side note -
it says "An Adventurer hardtop paced the 1956 Pike's Peak Hill Climb.
Another Adventurer competed in Daytona Speed Weeks".    John Z
