Back in the old days, manufacturers started offering new model
year cars in the late summer of the prior year. These days
they introduce new model years even earlier.

In either case, given the distribution channel "pipeline" time,
you have to build them before the calendar year starts.

You have a 1990 model, built 3/89, no big deal.
