So numbers originally produced by 1960 would be higher, call the total 6 million.  The annual production peaked in 1951, just over 600 thousand.  It dropped off sharply after that.  I doubt that as many have been built in the 60 years since 1960 as in the 60 years prior.  Call it another 4 million.  That puts total US production in the range of 10 million.
