Seems like production must have really slowed down by that time - that works out to 35 HUPs a month, or just over 1 a day - did Oshawa run a continuous HUP line or just drop them in to other production on the line?

Looking at the Data Plate Hanno posted as compared to my HUP shows some interesting things:
same order number SM 6407 date of manufacture June 7/45 chassis serial number 4844520557 (498 difference) and engine serial number FR 4039351.
This makes me wonder about serial numbers seems that the numbers should be further apart.
