Flint produced vehicles at 60 to 70 per hour, two shifts. That's one completed vehicle every minute of every working day.
Most of the other plants were in the mid 30's or 40's per hour (45 is typical).
I think you are seeing the attrition of vehicles produced in Flint that gave their lives in the salty midwest.

Sounds right. The data shows Freemont produced about 10K Chevy in March 1972. That's around 30 an hour, but excludes GMC. The Flint plant must have been huge.

Not following you, considering the factory is noted by the VIN. I did notice the records show lots of month/day/year build dates for 1972 Freemont though, but few or no day for 1972 Flint.
