[T3] Title date inaccuracy


<x-charset iso-8859-1>Russ might call it a screwup, but I expect that it is or has been policy in
many states to ignore the model-year designation altogether in registering
vehicles. I'd be interested to hear how it's handled in Europe.

As an example, on my Arizona title for my BMW 600, under 'year' is written
1960. Under 'no/yr first registered' it says 01/1960. This information was
transferred unquestioned from a California title about 20 years ago, and I
have little doubt that the same thing happened when the car moved from
probably New York sometime in the early '60s. The point of the story is that
BMW did not continue the 600 for the '60 model year; the car is a '59.

Type 3 content: The title on my Ghia shows accurately that it was first
registered in July '66.  Although not specified by Arizona, I know from
other documentation that this happened in Germany and the car didn't arrive
in California until a few months later.
