Thanks, guys. interesting info. Upon initially reading only the heading SPLIT MODEL YEARS, I thought the article would be about finished product changes mid-model-year.
There has been a lot of that, including entirely new models mid-year, in the auto industry.

By the way, Bill, welcome to the forum. Where in the mitten are you?

Interesting article. Ours is registered with the DMV as being a 91, which is when it was completed and sold, but the insurance co. insisted on calling it a 90, said they had to go by the chassis serial number.

Thanks Mogan. I'm in the Brighton area and absolutely love this site. The knowledge base is amazing for a DIY'er... oh yeah, and the people aren't half bad either!

The chassis on mine was completed 2/92, the coach was finished 4/93, and it's titled as a '94.
