Default Some theorizing regarding allocation quantities

Listed below are the Top 10 Corvette Dealers from 2018. My dealer is much lower on the list, but still in the Top 40. My dealer sold 51 Corvettes in 2018, and I was told they have “about 100” allocations for 2020. I’ve gathered from published data that there were 18,800 Corvettes sold in 2018. Since my dealer was given an allocation of about twice what was sold in 2018, it appears GM is expecting to produce (and sell) twice what was sold in 2018, therefore about 37,600 Corvettes for model Year 2020. Has anyone heard or read of a vastly different number?

In addition, for 2020 I am theorizing that Kerbeck received about 1,764 allocations (twice what they sold in 2018), and MacMulkin received about 1,242 allocations (twice what they sold in 2018). Has anyone seen a quote from Kerbeck or MacMulkin regarding their 2020 allocations? Can anyone confirm or refute my logic?

1 KERBECK ATLANTIC CITY NJ, 882 Corvettes sold in 2018
2 MAC MULKIN CHEVROLET NASHUA NH, 621 Corvettes sold in 2018
3 CRISWELL CHEVROLET, INC. GAITHERSBURG MD, 332 Corvettes sold in 2018
4 BOMNIN CHEVROLET DADELAND MIAMI FL, 278 Corvettes sold in 2018
5 LES STANFORD CHEVROLET DEARBORN MI, 268 Corvettes sold in 2018
6 COUGHLIN AUTOMOTIVE PATASKALA OH 148, Corvettes sold in 2018
7 GEORGE MATICK CHEVROLET, INC REDFORD MI 134, Corvettes sold in 2018
8 RICK HENDRICK CHEVROLET DULUTH GA, 110 Corvettes sold in 2018
9 HENDRICK CHEVROLET CARY NC 107, Corvettes sold in 2018
10 STINGRAY CHEVROLET PLANT CITY FL, 106 Corvettes sold in 2018

Interesting that there is NOT one of the top ten, west of the Mississippi. We in the Northeast are lucky to be driving distance to any of the top three. New Jersey, New Hampshire/Massachusetts and D.C./ Maryland.

But not so lucky when we have to drive a vette in the northeast snow! Guess that's what the Silverado is for.
