I entered most of the Baltimore cars and noticed a few things.

First is that in both Atlanta and Baltimore there are occasional gaps in the VIN sequence that are too big for chance with the number of invoices I now have.

It seems like there were periods where they stopped building GTO’s for a few days. Perhaps they would do runs of 4 door sedans etc so now GTO’s ? Or perhaps they adjusted production because of rising inventory or inversely they needed to concentrate on other brands due to low inventory. perhaps shortages in pontiac or GTO specific parts (engine, dashpad etc)

Something very noticeable at Baltimore is that convertibles were built in batches. For a week or two there are no convertibles then for a week or two I have as many convertibles as hard-tops.

Maybe this was for efficiency?
