Did you ever wonder why the new car model year started in the Fall as opposed to the beginning of the calendar year? There was a very good reason for it being this way.
It started over 100 years ago. Farmers would harvest their crops and sell them every fall, and that’s when they had enough cash in their pockets to go out and buy a car. And that’s how the model year started and eventually how the fall introduction of new cars started.
