Earlist Build Date For Third Gen?
I had a fellow 7 owner over and he thought they didn't start production of US cars untill May or June. So I showed him my production date of Feb of 92. Do I have one of the first third gens built for the US and how do I find out?

World wide FD production for 1991 was 975 (at a planned production rate of 1200 cars per month). Some of these may have made it to the US. Japan sales started on December 1, 1991. I think the differences between the early Japanese cars and the early US cars was pretty minor (fifth gear ratio was different).
