Hey dude, what year is my car?

[Cory Whitehead <carman@xxxx>]

Group, another way to verify "model year" is by the tenth digit of the whole
17-digit VIN.

There're only three choices here for DeLoreans:

1981 = B
1982 = C
1983 = D

Not all letters were used. Example, if you're ever in doubt when reading your
whole serial number about the letters I and O, just know they're 1 (one) and 0
(zero) because they don't use those letters on a VIN. This is to avoid just
that sort of confusion.

This became an international standard with all new vehicles produced worldwide
in 1980, and each digit has special meaning, either to the int'l standard, or
to the specific manufacturer (engine used, build factory, etc)

Hope this helps you out a little bit!

'82 Toyota Supra (digit C)
'89 Chevy Cavalier (digit K)
'91 Chevy Cavalier (digit M)
'?? DeLorean (still dreaming)
