Production figures

I posted a question in a longer text at another thread, and the idea sort of got lost. So, here it is again.

I am researching a couple of articles, and would like to locate the production figures for several marques, including Packard, Pierce-Arrow, Peerless, and some others. Is there a source or sources that can supply my information? Can I find figures for specific years of production on each brand, or am I going to have to forget about this idea?

Thanks.

Production figures for the three makes you mention are fairly easy to get. Model breakdown on the Peerless is tougher. On the CCCA web site is a page called Classic Numbers that will give you some figures on those makes built during the 1925-1948 Classic Era. I have been working on an update to this article that may be in the Classic Car in the not-too-distant future. If you can let me know what specific years you are looking for, I may be able to provide specific numbers.

One of my favorite research books is the Standard Catalog of American Cars 1805-1942, which has data including production figures on virtually all American cars of the period. This book should be fairly readily available, good luck, Todd C
