55/56 are the only years in which this randomness is observed. All others years have data which is generally predictable and logical.

The suggestion that Packard played games to fool competitors or the public or investors by playing with a number that was essentially little understood and generally ignored seems dubious at best. There was no mystery within the industry about how many cars Packard was producing.

True. But the VN's were sequentialy matched to each car as they came sequentialy off of the line??? No??

Seems to be true though not with absolute precision with the exception of RHD and commercial vehicles like Henneys, etc. though a "B" or "C" car that was reordered with changes might be out of sequence.

Again, if you want the raw data, PM me with your email and you can take a shot at it. We could go own for a hundred posts this way.
