Orders are also distributed based on production volume (to level the workload at the plants) and the urgency of build (bigger hurry = closer plant).

Agree with Keith. Have paperwork & copies of paperwork on over six hundred '71 GT-37's, & a bunch of T-37's & LeMans. As so many '71 Pontiac A-bodys were built out of Fremont & Pontiac plants, its easy spot certain delivery trends. One I noticed many years ago, was Fremont plant built Pontiac A-bodies for '71 were distributed to every state west of the Mississippi River. For some reason Iowa, & part of Missouri seemed to get quite a few from Pontiac plant (that being an exception). On Adam's T-37, its a very late build, & its a very basic build. As such, its very possible Fremont had the capacity to build a few more as non a/c 350 powerglide combo's & Pontiac plant didn't. Of all the assembly plants building Pontiac A-bodys, Fremont ran very late, that is a huge factor.. earlier in the production year, such an Indiana delivered Pontiac A-body 2 door hardtop would have invariably came out of the Pontiac plant.
