Hi all,

I just bought a 1995 E420 with a production date of 5/94. The title, VIN, and all documents indicate that it is a 1995 model and I have no reason to doubt that it is in fact a 1995, but the door B-pillar sticker says 5/94. I thought they swithed over year model production in the summer, usually July or August, but didn't know that it kicked over to the next year model as early as May.

Another thread stated that the W124 for North America were all produced in "mid-1994." Does anybody know the exact end date for production of NA E420's and whether 5/94 as a 1995 model makes sense? I'd appreciate any history on this. There's probably an interesting Mercedes history story behind this somewhere.
