If anything, this rough estimate may be a bit high, because performance type cars were not produced in as high of volume heading in to the Winter months, as they were heading in to Spring/Summer.  |
I thought I heard or read somewhere that the at the end of the strike (mid-November '70), the Van Nuys plant was up a running but the Norwood plant didn't get going again until almost January. Is this correct?
