G-MANN ◊ 2009-10-01 13:42	Year? Exact model name? As I said it has 6 six side passenger windows (not including the one on the emergency exit door at the back) and it's probably newer than 1980.
Ford_Guy ◊ 2009-10-01 17:21	Well there's no way to narrow down the year range from the one given by Ddey. Only if we could see the grille, but obviously it's not visible. And I don't think an exact model will be determined as there is no name badge and I believe the options are either a B-600 or B-700. I wonder if the number of lugs on the wheel visible would help narrow it down.
Pokeoddsponge ◊ 2009-10-02 23:56	1983 at the earliest due to the taillights
Pokeoddsponge ◊ 2009-10-03 03:50	Actually it looks like they raised the taillights up as late as either 1985 or 1986. The problem is i'm having a hard time finding pictures of the back of Blue Birds that have a confirmed year. Either way I can now narrow this down to atleast a 1985, and possibly a 1986 if I can find a picture. EDIT: Ok I can confirm this is at the earliest a 1986. EDIT 2: I can also confirm that this is at the latest a 1993 model, (ruling out the possibility of a 1994 model) due to the square, single segment mirrors. -- Last edit: 2009-10-03 04:00:55
Ford_Guy ◊ 2009-10-03 04:53	So then this would have to be exactly a 1993 model. Wow, I'm honestly impressed that you narrowed it down to the exact year. Nice job!
G-MANN ◊ 2009-10-09 00:42	Well done
