89' Lumina???


Baddflash

Recommended Posts

Anyone else have a Lumina that was made in 89'?????

 

Mine was built in June of 89' so technically would it not be an 89'?

( I believe the 9 month and latter would make it the following year.)

 

The other one (Z) was built in Aug of 90'

 

I Just found it strange that it's title says 90'( first official year of production) but it was actually built in early 89'.

 

I also had a 87' Rustang that was built the 9/86 yet it was titled 87' and so were the parts for it, although it was the 86' body style, weird eh?

I really HATE those vehicles titled for one year, yet have other years' parts in them. I see it fairly often at work. Just for example... a guy has a '92 Ford.. a particular part goes bad and we say that part never exsisted on a '92 Ford.. but '93 Ford model year has that particular part.

The Lumina model started in 1990. Here are the main reasons that I know why:

 

In the 1980's to early 1990's I would go to the GM dealerships and get books on just about every GM car. I would work my way around. Oddly enough, I never threw them away. I still have them all. I took the 1989 and 1990 model years for Chevrolet out and gave them a look.

 

Chevrolets' line up in 1989 did not include the Lumina. It did, however include the Monte-Carlo, which as I'm sure that you know. Lumina replaced in 1990.

 

And for the most convincing evidence, I have a showroom brochure for the Lumina alone, and it says on the first page. "Introducing the Chevrolet Lumina. New for 1990." ;)

 

They probably build them early. so that they will have plenty to release. This would hold true double for a new model I'm sure.

 

I can feel for you. To me a car that was not built in the year model that it is promoted as, is not REALLY a true model year car. But due to the fact that they release the next model year four months early, I suppose they have to start building them early as well.
