where did you find the info about the 2507? does it list total production of cars for the year & break it down 6 vs 8? if so use that percentage to for your 2507 to get a close idea of the v-8 cars ,Lawrence

According to Galen Goviers production option book (8th edition) there were 2507 convertibles made.

There is no specific break down for the V8 engines in those cars.
But the numbers for the 200 & Signets are lumped together.
The numbers are:
200 sedans (39,392), Signet (13,045), Signet convertibles (2507)
For v8s:
273-2bbl (7,633) with 7,038 auto, 298 3-sp manual & 298 4-sp
273-4bbl (446) 248 auto & 198 4- sp manual

I don't expect the ratio of 6 to 8 cylinders to be the same, I think the convertibles are much more likely to have a V8 just because they are a more expensive car to purchase but really nobody has it documented.

I have come across 5 with the 6"s but none with the v8 so far....and the convertible is a Signet 100 with the 273 motor. I have written into the historical society with no replies.....
