Maybe it has to do with the CKD production numbers ... They are often
included in the total production of a plant. The difference would be the '58
Dodge assembled overseas from a CKD shipment. I know for sure that in
Belgium, you could choose in 1958 between US-built models (Plodge, Dodge or
Plymouth) or Belgium-built models (Dodge or Plymouth).

Objet : [FWDLK] 1958 Dodge Production
I included the original e-mail for reference. I had a couple of questions
about the '58 Dodge production numbers (thanks for providing those Bill!):
1) for the total production in the U.S.A., the numbers for each
series add up to 132,845 but the total shown is 132,060 (a difference of
785 units); and
2) for the plant totals, you can figure out the number of units
through the serial numbers and the production total comes to 137,148 units
but you would expect 137,942 - from the grand total (a difference of 794
units).
I thought maybe the differences had something to do with Regals being
produced in both Canada and the U.S.A., but that didn't pan out. It seems
like these numbers are pretty close - 794 and 785. Are there any theories
about why the numbers don't quite line up in those two areas?
Is it just an error in one of the figures, or is there another explanation?
Maybe there are 790 Royal 2-door sedans out there somewhere?
Thanks,
Mike
