One thing I can’t get my head around is more than 40k cars built in one yr? How do you do that? That’s at least 100 cars everyday for a yr and I believe more hand build than robot assisted.i know they were still hand painted and if I were a painter there painting 30-40 cars a day? The windows ,wheels and interior would all be same color.

May have to do with the options for the Corvette, exterior color, which plant produced the Corvette, revisions made during the production year. Do not have the order form for an 81 but the steering wheel could have had a color choice.
