VINs are a function of administration and totally unrelated to production. A VIN of 110785 means this car has the 10,785 VIN assigned. It does not mean it is the 10,785 car built. This is a common and often reported erroneous concept. Cars are not built in VIN sequence so it is impossible to know in what order the cars were built. VINs are cardinal (counting - car one, car two, car three...) not ordinal (order-first car, second car, third car).
Expertly explained...but as you noted "This is a common and often reported erroneous concept." and it shall continue...
