This may be a silly question but here goes. My 72 Coronet was built in Nov 71. The majority of the parts I see on car are 1972. All of the marker lights. Most of the original taillight lenses. Even a NOS tail reverse light lens that I bought. I cannot find anywhere date coded 1971 items for a 1972 car. Anyone else run into this problem on their early production model year car. It's not going to be a show car but I would like some corrected date parts on the car. Thanks
 
Typically the factories used to shut down late summer for model changeover usually ending that years production. Fall start-up would be the next years car.
 
Your lenses won't have a date code on them. Just 72 for the 72 model year. Carb, alternator, starter parts like that will have a date code.
