Production Numbers
The
always helpful staff at Janesville’s Hedberg Public Library Information
Desk researched total plant production at my request. Librarians found
a front page article titled, “Sweet 16: Janesville's GM plant—one of
the company's oldest—celebrates the production of its 16,000,000th
vehicle,” in the August 24, 2005 edition of The Janesville Gazette.
Additional Information Desk reviews of “GM Daily Newslines” and other
Gazettes indicated 106,000 vehicles were made in 2006; 187,610 in 2007;
153,740 in 2008; and 25,818 in 2009. Totals for September,
October, November, and December 2005 weren’t available so the 2006
production figure of 106,000 was divided by three to estimate about
35,000 vehicles were manufactured during those months. All told,
slightly more than 500,000 vehicles were produced from September 2005
until the plant closed in 2009. Added to the 16,000,000 Gazette
figure published in 2005, total production was above 16,500,000. Average Vehicle Value 2018
