(*) No units were produced in October due to a GM / United Auto Workers strike.

The production total of 1528 is a little curious—why not stop at 1500? Dave Newell has a theory:

"For the '65 model year, 1500 units were probably scheduled and 1500 sets of parts ordered... Perhaps 28 more sets were scrounged together, but GM does not normally stockpile parts. There were always some left over, though. (The sheet metal was stamped and built into sub-assemblies at Indianapolis, as needed by Flint or St. Louis.)"
