Why does it seem (to me at least) that a lot if not most of the '69 B-body Hemi engine cars have an Scheduled Production Date (SPD) between late December '68 and Jan, Feb of '69. What's the earliest and latest build Hemi B-body cars during the '69 model year or the other years for that matter?

the high May/June numbers are due to the (amount of available info &) late builds of the Daytonas

I do not recall the exact date, but our 69 Road Runner was pushing the second week in July.

This was taken from Winged Warriors/National B-Body Owners Association
St. Louis Assembly Plant Retired Employees Reunion


When asked about the order of the cars coming down the assembly line James told us: "You might have two or three [Hemi cars]
in a row, might have two or three in an hour, and some days you might only get one for the whole day. It all depends on what they
ordered-that's the way we got them. Trim was supposed to mix up the models of cars so we didn't have two in a row. Running two big
high-performance Hemis or 440s, Sixpacks-running a couple of those in a row just tore the line up. You weren't set for manpower to run
them like that.

Correct the 4 speed car. The black auto used to be owned by another guy here in Michigan before Ed had it.
