I think they changed them along with the dropping of the turn handle front hood and the introduction of the right dash pod insert in early may.
Seventh of may or so?
So january had bananas for sure. _________________ Master of my domain! |

I would agree - May 49 changeover. It's a priveledge to have a car with banana overriders! |
