Sometimes when there wasn't enough change between model years to stop, purge, and re-start the line, we would do a "rolling model change".

You would build the last 1984 model (or whatever) and there would be a vehicle right behind it that had a home made sign like the above that would say "First 1985".

Sometimes they would leave an empty carrier/space between the two; sometimes not. Definitely no fanfare.

The sign on the hood of the car below, all alone with nobody around, says "First 2013 Volt".

By the way, sometimes on those occasions we wouldn't reset the VINs. The sequential portion of the VIN would keep right on climbing.
