Look what I found

[LILRED66]

VIN tags came before titles, so the VIN determines the year. It may have been manufactured and then sit on the lot at the plant, until it went to the dealership and was issued a title. The VIN is the primary determining factor, followed by the title and hopefully both match. You will also find the last 8 alpha-numeric digits of the VIN on the frame rail adjacent to the alternator on the top of the frame rail on the driver side. You can appeal to the DMV to change the information on the title, to reflect the correct information, if you choose.
