Build Year For HHR'S
Does anybody know when the start of the new build year begins and when it ends at the HHR assembly plant ? I was noticing my 07 was built in 11/06 and I purchased it March of this year

I was told by my dealer that if I wanted to special order an '07 I had to get it in before June since that's when they tool up for '08. I'm sure there are a few experts here who can confirm this...or not...but that's what I was told FWIW.

The factories do their annual shutdown the first couple weeks of July for maintenance and retooling.
I would think that when they start up again mid to late July is when they start working on the next model year.

This can get confusing, I found some 07 HHR's that were built before the last of the 06 HHR's were built. These 07 HHR's were built starting 5/24/06, but were designated as Pilot Vehicles, meaning they were built for General Motors use, such as factory demos or for Engineering use. The first retail dealer sold 07 HHR's were built on 6/22/06. The last 06 HHR that I found was also built on 6/22/06. I told you it can get confusing!
By the way, the very first 06 HHR has a build date of 4/22/05.
Also, the HHR Panel is now being built, found a Victory Red one destined for Tempe, AZ!
