[Flatout]

Sales were slow in these depression years. Unsold units were left over, and often titled in the year that were actually sold. This has resulted confusion in later years, as to what model year the vehicle actually is.
Years ago, I owned a very nice original 33 V8 pickup that was titled as a 34.
Recently I encountered a very nice and correct 32 pickup that was titled as a 33. The owner believed that it was a 33 model because of the title. I pointed out a laundry list of the minor differences, but he didn't seem to be impressed, or convinced. I stopped wasting my time.
