And just two '43 8421:

In peacetime, Perth vehicles were interesting as the Plant may have been the one that produced the least Chevrolets each year. The assembly dates suggest that the prodcution was very slow, or these were release dates, i.e. after body fitting and chassis-cabs could have been sitting around stored for some time.
