I always wondered how carmakers were able to actually tell what car was the 10 millionth or whatever. With factories all over the country, in a time before instant communication via computer networks, How could anyone know which car at which factory came off the line at any specific time.

Obviously this Suburban was planned to be the 37,000,000th Chevy because it was already painted as such but I still don't see how they know or knew what vehicle at what factory would cross the finish line first.
