Maybe he can shed some light on the subject!!!! Also get a PHS documentation. That will tell you just about everything you need to know as far as when built, options as it left the plant, where it was shipped to, etc, etc. www.phs-online.com

How many 61 LeMans were made ?? I do a production search and get nothing

[gtogoat]

In 1961, Pontiac built a total of 37393 Tempests (7432 Coupes, 22557 4-door Sedans

and 7404 Wagons).

I received this info from
PHS - Automotive Services

The LeMans appeared as a show car at the end of '61 to positive reviews, and production began. I think all the '61 LeMans were white exterior, two-door "sport coupe" -- pillared hardtop -- bodies with front bucket seats, no convertibles. None of the books I have show production numbers, but two of them have photographs of white coupes. I'd guess any '61 Pontiac with LeMans badging is a pretty rare car.

Something doesn't add up there - I found my production info and will post it in a separate thread.
