by edfields Sun Oct 18, 2015 11:10 pmIs there any information out there regarding the production numbers of 8-door vans?
Mine is from 64, wondering how many first-year models might have been made.

No numbers I've been able to find
They didn't break them out in most sources I've found.

Thanks for the links, all good reads.
Guess the numbers are still a mystery.

Doesn't have complete records for a lot of stuff. No muscle era cars, no trucks after 1954, etc.
The most repeated rumor about the records is that there was a fire in the late 70s that destroyed a lot of it. There is also a rumor that they tossed a lot of it during the bankruptcy in 1979. In any case, they say right up front that they won't have stuff for our vans.
As mentioned in one of the threads I previously posted, people like Brain Bowie who were there when these were being built are about the best source for info, but you can't expect a complete breakdown of total produced, model options (8-doors) or other overview bookkeeping info, just what they remember going down the line when they were there, although he's been a fanatic for many years and has researched this stuff for a long time.
