Numbers
With the 1,500,000 Vette rolling off the line this year I did a little math just for the heck of it.
46 years in production Average Number 26,785.7 per year.
I would be a little miffed if I got one of the 0.7 ones off the line. I wonder what they left off to get 0.7 of a Vette.

Oops, your average number is correct, so your number of years in production must be a typo. 56 years, not 46.

Yes it was a TYPO that the preview didn't catch. 2009 - 1953 = 56
1,500,000/56 = 26,785.7

OOPS 2009 - 1953 = 57 years in production not 56
The revised average is 26,315.8
I am sorry for all the misinformation. It won't happen again.

Right, the 56 year average was right. You just took the wrong side street to get there.

I added in a 0 for that year. Making it 57 years for the average annual production.

Good news, I was worried about the 26785.7 number. It didn't sound right.
