WHAT YEAR IS MY GOLF CAR
What Year is My Club Car?
To find the serial number for your Club Car look just under the glove box on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. The first two numbers (not letters) indicate the last two digits of the year the vehicle was manufactured.
On Club Car Golf Carts older than 1981, you can find the serial number by raising the seat and finding the aluminum, I-beam frame section closest to the batteries on the driver's side of the car. If the serial number plate has been removed, then look to see if you vehicle has two brake pedals, if so then your Club Car was manufactured between 1075 and 1980.
