> Production dates are stamped at the factory the month the car was

> anything produced from July on is consideded to be the next years model.
> A 07/69 model might arrive in Los Angeles in August or September and be
> marketed as a 1970 when the new next years models are on the show room
> floor. My Nissan Axxess is a 05/89 but registered as a 1990 as the
> first production year for that model. Nissan did not start using
> production dates until 01/69(as far as I know). Les has proof from a
> Washington dealer that new ID plates were issued for the 64 models that
> did not sell in that year. The new plates were exactly the same except
> for the change in year. Some plates had no year stamped in them. Most
> early models only had year numbers on the firewall ID plate. Japanese
> cars had no engine numbers stamped on the ID plate.
