Here’s a little 4TH of July twist for They Made How Many?
What’s more American then a Chevrolet?
Check it out:
This was a 1975 commercial and yes I know that other American cars (but feel free to remind me!!!! ) but this is just so American!!!!
You can see the a Vega, a Caprice, a Monza, a Nova and few other Chevy’s in the commercial.
Total American car manufacturing show that Chevy was #1 in car production with 1,755,773 units. Chevy was followed closely by Ford with 1,569,608, then a distant 3rd was Oldsmobile with 631,795 (Roughly 1 million less than Ford!!).
The rest looked like this:
Pontiac – 531,922 Buick – 481,768 Plymouth – 454,105
Mercury – 404,650 Dodge – 377,462 Cadillac – 251,549
AMC – 241,501 Lincoln – 101,843 Imperial – 8,830
Checker – 450 Avanti II – 125 Excalibur – 90 (what?)
Out of the 1.7 million cars that Chevy produced there were some highlights. Take for instance the famous 1975 Cosworth Vega two door hatchback with a total of 2,061 cars produced.
Number-wise that was a very low production, but did you know the rarest car Chevy produced that year was the unfamous 1975 Vega Panel Express. Total production was 1,525!!!
More coming up on 1975 Chevy production!!!
Let me know if you own when of these and drop us a note at: AGCarRestoration@cox.net
Thanks for reading.
