'65 Greenbrier Production Numbers By Month

Dave Newell kindly provided me with the serial number of the last Greenbrier built each month, from official Chevy production records.

1965 Greenbriers were produced only through the end of calendar year 1964.

Month Last Serial # Number Produced Percent of Total
August 100192 192 12.6%
September 100747 555 36.3%
October 100747 (*) 0 (*) 0.0% (*)
November 101259 512 33.5%
December 101528 269 17.6%
  Totals 1528 100.0%

(*) 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.)"
