Chevrolet's published U.S. production figures for the 1971 model year are 481,362 domestic units and 18,262 units imported from Canada. Subtracting the total of last reported VINs of each U.S. plant (481,360) from the published figure leaves 2 U.S. built Chevelles unaccounted for. Either the published figures are incorrect or production wasn't finished by the end of July.
