Default Paint Production Numbers

Hey, Is there a way to tell, how many Ontario Orange 1971 Convertibles were produced that year? 987 code, I read that there were, 2269. That is a total, of both coupes
and convertibles. I'd like the separate totals. Thanks SlicQuip

No. GM did not keep the data per body style.

Statistically speaking, you can take the total O.O. cars and proportion them according to the ratio of coupes to convertibles to get the numbers you want. I doubt there was any special bias of O.O. paint being dependent on coupe or 'vert choice.

14,680 coupes produced. 7,121 convertibles produced. 2,269 Ontario orange cars TOTAL. Just do the math and you will get the approximate number of each.
