Avg production was about 60 units per hour on the final line. Body shop would be slightly faster, like 70 per hour, in order to keep the accumulators full and provide a buffer in the event of a breakdown. Production in that era was two or three production shifts per day, five or six days per week.

But - that's after regular product is well underway. They would ramp up slowly. There is no way to know that ramp schedule unless you were there at the time.

The numbers you have shown for my car are correct.
