I can recall Ford putting out a new car in April, (I think it was in April 1993, and it was a model year 94 car) as the next model year! So it can happen. . .

Fred.. when Ford introduced the 97 F150, (which was probably the most changed new model ever) they were building them in 1995. The regulations were that they could not sell a certain model year, two calendar years early. So they had many built in 95, I can't recall if they shipped in 95 or shipped after Jan 1st 96, but in any case we were selling and delivering 97 models in Jan 96.
The guys who bought early really did well as they had almost 2 years before their truck was a one year old model. Also, the trucks were great sellers and the price increased a few hundred dollars every couple months so that dragged the value of those one/two year old trucks up pretty high.
