You are welcome. I agree about the trucks being built any time during that month; I chose the middle just to make the counting easier
. I don't think it affects the number of available working days but it could cause your build to slip from barely in one month into barely into the next.

Yes - GM is normally off starting with the 24th, returning January 2nd (unless it's a Friday, then return the following Monday).
This is almost a certainty for the office workers - BUT - during boomtimes (like the late 60's) the assembly plants, manufacturing plants and skilled trades would often work overtime through the Holidays.
So - no way really to know at this point, unless you can find someone who worked at that plant at that time who has a really good memory.
