And for some (here in Calif.) it was a dreadful thing. There was a time when 
California required all cars 1966 and newer to pass a biannual smog test. 
So, I'm sure there were many "1965" Tigers that got titled as 1966 (or maybe 
even 1967) and required testing.  In my case I had one of the last Volvo 
544's made.  After 1965 they never made that model.  But, under the same 
situation it was titled as a 1966 and subjected to the smog test.  I find it 
ironic too because as far as I understand, foreign cars were given until 
1967 to meet USA standards. So, at a later date the owner was held to 
standards that the manufacture didn't have to meet at the time of 
construction. Go figure.
