Yes. Almost always.

There were a couple model year transitions during the square body years where we did a "rolling model change". The line didn't shut down; we had maybe a one carrier gap and then started right up with the next model year. (They were kind enough to put a hand made cardboard sign in the window so we would know). A couple times there they didn't start the sequential portion of the VIN over, and I can think of one occasion during the Gen1 Volt builds where we didn't start over.

Other than that -
