FB Production Numbers

[mr.jones]

It's been a while since I have posted on here and I did promise Sunnytim some time back I would share production data I had found during a research trip.

The following is taken from Holden Schedule documents issued 16th Dec 1959 and amended by hand 18th Jan 1960 for the end of year totals, 14th Dec 1960 and 13th Dec 1961.

Enjoy

There is a no breakdown between models on the 1959 schedule unlike the later versions. CKD is Complete Knock Down for overseas assembly.

Very interesting that standard station sedans were the rarest production over panel vans, then standard sedans. The ratio of standards to specials is slightly lower for the wagon but not by that much. Thanks for posting.
