Bob,
I wouldn't get to hung up on the year. Factory records show my car was built in April 57. It arrived new in the USA in early 58. It sat in a show room in Connecticut until October 58 when it was purchased and first registered. At the time, new cars sales in the fall were the first of the new model year so it was registerd and titled as a 1959.
If I'm talking to AC owners, the car is a 1957. Talking to the local officials, the car is a '59 just as it says on the papers. No need to confuse the bureaucrats.
Your car could have a similar timeline.
Peter
