Location: Kansas City, Kansas | I am trying to determine how many D500 cars were produced during each forwardlook year. Can you guys fill in the blanks:
1955: None produced
1956: 8255
1957: 18,500 (corrected) (all body styles)
1958: 7617 (corrected) (all body styles)
1959: ?
1960: ?
1961: ?
My numbers came from these previous threads:

That was all I could find in the archives. Can some of you please fill in the production totals above. I know they might need to be estimates. Any other D501 or Super-D500 production numbers and estimates are also welcome.

Location: Fayetteville, NC | Reading through your attachments I believe you have the 57 and 58 D500 production numbers reversed. The higher number is for 57 (18,500) and the lower number (7617) is the 58 total.

Location: Seville, OH | The number usually quoted for D-501 production is 101. The serial numbers of the cars themselves were not necessarily sequential, they apparently were built in small groups. I think, though, that the engine serial numbers were sequential starting with D501-1001 and ending presumably with D501-1101. The whereabouts of D501-1090 is known so I think it safe to say at least 90 were built. So until an engine surfaces with a serial number higher than 1101, the 101 production figure seems as good as any.

Location: The Mile High City | It probably is a good idea to break out the 501's and the Dash-one's, but you should include them in your production list. It would also be fun to attempt to put together a D-500 registry of all we could gather on the remaining D-500s! Unfortunately, I am not computer literate enough to know what is involved in creating an on-line interactive registry. |
