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".
