Totally agree, when it comes to a bird....I usually say mine is one of about 11,000 ( 69 converts.) When I had my 1954 Volvo tp21 w/ chassi number #127.....it was different , it was no. 127 of 724 totally made over the period 1953-1957, then it makes it kinda rare.. But like Salmon said , you can prob. get a fairly low number 1 of xxx , if you figure the color combo. w coupe or conv. w stick or autom. and console no console , w or w/o clock etc...lol I would`nt worry too much about those numbers , just use the coupe or conv, no`s w type engine ,350,400 etc... and when you go to a car museum and see 1 of 3 made...thats a different story...
