I can add to that list.

There are 2 'no. 1' production cars. When the first 10 (pilot) build cars were made on 30 Sept 1948, the body ID plates read sequentially from 001 to 010 (obviously), but that wasn't the order of actual assembly.

Body no. 006 was the first car made & no. 001 was further down the list. The best explanation that I've heard was because of the light & dark paint colours, the lighter ones were painted first, as a result body no. 1 was a light cream colour & 009 & 010 were black. This was at the Woodville plant where the bodies were made, they were then transported to Fisherman's Bend & the order was shuffled. They just assembled each car as they came off the transporters & as a result no. 006 was the first car produced. The car that GMH display as the first production car is body no. 1 but wasn't the first car produced.
