Also – cars were not necessarily built in exact VIN order.

Pontiac had an eight lane body accumulator so that builds could be shuffled to manage downstream workload (ie, Can't have too many AC cars in a row, can't have too many tripower cars in a row, can't have too many four-speed cars in a row) or to handle a problem with part availability.

Bodies could also be stored in the aisleway if they were waiting a low running engine or some other part.

Shuffling of these early early production cars would be very common.
