Volkswagen considers anything built 01/SEP and on the next model year.  So
your 09/89 would be classified as a 1990.

Subject: Production dates: Is this van a 90?

I have what I believe to be a 1990 Vanagon GL.  The production date on the
driver's side door sill says 09/89 I always figured this must mean it is a
90,   but I heard that all 90 gl's should have fiberglas bumpers-mine has
the chrome bumpers.   I bought this car used from a dealer in 1999,  and the
owner's manual was missing.  The title says 1990,  as far as I know...Any
thoughts?
