So, DateBase made first Russian registration date as year of manufacture. |

'91 GL by VIN (1FACP52U6MA233845) It also states it is a factory tuner (SHO then?) and wagon, both of which it clearly isn't. |

1993 might be the year it was imported to Russia. If the plate is original, it is one of the first cars to have this then-new Russian plate. |

That database is crap. You can't totally rely on that, especially in foreign car's cases. They did mistake with models, why wouldn't they made mistakes in year? -- Last edit: 2017-04-09 22:29:07 |

Well, the VIN reveals all. And it all corresponds to a 1991 Taurus GL, does it not? Besides, these bases are our only clues so we might as well rely on them if the dates seem realistic. -- Last edit: 2017-04-09 22:34:31 |

I mean plate database. It's not 1993 for sure. |

Yes, we established that, and it has been proven otherwise by the VIN. Mistakes happen. |
