THe source for my Executive total production figures stated above come from Encyclopedia of American Cars 1930-1980 Richard M Langsworth.
I make no claim as to Langsworth source nor accuracy. I make no claim because i don't know.
So then it's not a mystery?

'56executive,
Not to disparage your source, which looks like it was a concerted effort to do this compilation, but the opening page shown is dated "April 23, 1951 and stamped "REC'D MAY 4, 1951," and could not include V8 Packard production data unless they had a crystal ball. "1899 to Date" seems to refer to the date of April 23, 1951.
The introductory note ends with the line: : "Your suggestions toward improvement or expansion [of the list] will be welcomed."
Doesn't exactly sound like the authors felt the data were conclusive.
Nuff said?
