Re: Production Numbers
Unfortunatly production figures for the 68-C were "mixed in" with the 68-B within the count of Ford's 1931 production data (Assembly Record Type Production Figures).
The Briggs company would have those exact figures but they may have been destroyed. If not, they are hidden away at the Ford Archives.
With that here are the following 1931 production figures of both the 68-B and the 68-C:
Domestic:11801
Foreign:1182
England:282
Canada:441
TOTAL: 13706
1932 68-C production
Domestic:0
Foreign:146
England:0
Canada:68
TOTAL: 214
Same goes for the 160-C however a little more confusing because both Murray and Brings made this body style for Ford and the number for each is unknown PLUS the 160-C was also figured in with the 170-B Deluxe in the 1931 production data.
1931 production of the 170-B Deluxe and 160-C:
Domestic:3231
Foreign:1357
England:1
Canada:378
TOTAL: 4967
1932 production of the 160-C:
Domestic:0
Foreign:202
England:0
Canada:0
TOTAL: 202
HOWEVER...Not to confuse the issue, the following figures were broken down and may not be exact BUT close.
The 170-B Deluxe ended production in March of 1931 thus the 160-C entered production in April of 1931. More than likely there are some "mixes" of both in April 1931 but here are some close figures just for the 160-C in 1931 mind you that both Murray and Briggs are still in the mix:
Domestic:2489
Foreign:944
England:0
Canada:187
TOTAL: 3620
1932 production of 160-C:
Domestic:0
Foreign:202
England:0
Canada:0
TOTAL: 202
