Can anyone tell me how to estimate the year a car was manufactured from
the serial number of its California license plate. For example, maybe
something like "numbers 3NAA000-3PZZZ000 were only issued in 1995"? If
that doesn't work is the next best thing trying to identify the year
from the tail lights or. . . ? Any clues?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Are you attempting to figure out the year of a certain vehicle? Why not
just use CarFax and get a free record check. It will include the year
of the vehicle in it.

Thank you for your reply, xblazinlv. But what I'm really looking for
is a
way to describe cars I see on the street, like "a 96 Mustang". I was
hoping there was some way to get at least ballpark close on the year.

Any more ideas?

Thanks again.

Trish
