[V8] Number of V8Q's by Model Year

[Scott DeWitt]

Very interesting. NHTSA queries show no 1995 V8 ever produced, and being
that production ceased at the plant in late 1993 with the A8 coming out as
a 1995 model I wonder how it would be possible to have a 1995 V8. If the
car had a real 1995 VIN.

I did some googling and saw references to what you state below, but no
VIN. There was banter about this in 2007, 2007 and 2010.
