I read that only 250 Crofton Bugs were built. Is that
true? also How many FarmOroads were built? Does anyone have an
estimate of how many still exist?
I came across a
statistical method for making estimates of production based on
existing serial numbers. I have used this on some models that I
knew the production numbers on and found it to be fairly good,
usually underestimating slightly if you don't have enough serial
numbers. I ran the known serial numbers for FarmOroads as of 1998
through the equation and came up with 578 with 77 serial numbers.
So I would guess under 600 is a fair guess. While we are at it I
ran Crofton numbers through the same formula in 1993 and got 192
with only 23 serial number. So the 250 estimate in your note is
probably close. I should get the latest numbers from the
registries and recalculate these numbers.
Looking for pickup production. I know I have read the vehicle production numbers some
where. I cannot find them. Can any body point me in the correct
direction?
Pickup Production
1946 - 8
1947 - 3182
1948 - 2836
1949 - 287
1950 - 405
1951 - 783
1952 - 391
These may be calendar year or model not sure. I believe they
were from Wards Yearbook or some such.
