RE: [Chrysler300] start date of 1957 300C production?

[John <spiers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ah, a translation from the Queen's English into American is required!  It's the day after Christmas, celebrated in England and its colonies.  The name originally comes from the churches, many years ago, opening up their collection BOXes that day and distributing the money to the poor, thus BOXing day.
   
  Maybe we should ask if they have the Fourth of July down under? lol  They'll probably ask if we have Guy Fawkes Day here.  Who IS Guy Fawkes??
   
  Seriously, I would find it unlikely that Chrysler or any auto manufacturer would schedule production place between Christmas and New Years Day.  Aren't most factories, then as now, normally closed for that week?  Could production dates be 'fudged' for internal reasons?

Does anyone know on what date 1957 300C production began, seemingly in last
days of 1956, and if they worked Christmas Day, or New Years Day, weekend of
that holiday period - we have cars in the first 50, listed as built Dec 26
and Dec 28, with a seeming build rate of only/about 3 cars a day in that
period. Later, around March April 1957, it seems production was up around up
to 25 cars some days - that likely as they had figured how to build them
fastest by then? It seems suprising they worked Boxing Day, but was that
common then?

And has anyone worked how who got first cars produced, in which were some
well recorded special order cars, which supposedly could make sense, as they
may have been for special, or well regarded customers - but who decided who
got first preferences/treatment, re the rest/Dealers?
