Looking back, Mercury sales stumbled after 1956 at least in part because the fleet, good-looking cars of earlier years were abandoned for shiny, begadgeted behemoths that couldn't hope to sell well in a down economy. Industrial production in Europe’s biggest economy fell 1.5% in June compared with May, driven by a 3.5% drop in Germany’s vast automotive sector. Over the years, convertible versions and classic stock versions have become hot collector cars, However, the car was discontinued in 1998 and its production line was altered to produce the Chevrolet Malibu. Over 380,000 were built for 1955, Detroit's banner year of the decade, including 155,000 Riviera two-door hardtops, that season's single bestselling Buick. TRD is also active in motorsports, including NASCAR, NHRA and Formula Drift. Active supply of new vehicles totaled 1.89 million; 56 days’ supply. The active supply of new vehicles totaled 1.90 million for a 54 days’ supply. At the close of March, the industry had non-luxury vehicle inventory totaling 1.60 million vehicles, up from 1.53 million at the end of February, for a 55 days’ supply.
