Yes perhaps quite a bit older. I wonder how the plant numbering system went. If there were only 15,002 2door royales made among 7 different plants.
It wouldn't make sense for them to make a 2door royale brougham and then a 4door royale, and then a 2 door royale on the same assembly line, all with different colors and options.
There had to be at least some degree of organization. Say like.... 2 weeks of building the maroon interior Royale broughams, then 2 weeks of 4doors, etc etc.
I wish I knew a Detriot plant worker that built these things. I'm sure there'd be some great and interesting stories of using BFH's massive bondoing of effed up panels, and crazy stuff like that. "Stay away from #383455 .....that one is a real P.O.S."
"Bob Johnson just had his first son and we were drunk as hell when we built that one on an overtime monday."
