What Year Is my Cart Club Car

What Year Is My Club Car® Golf Cart?

Since 1981 Club Car® Golf Carts have positioned their serial numbers just under the glove box on the passengers side of the vehicle. The serial number of each vehicle is printed on a bar code decal. The two letters at the beginning of the serial number "A" indicate the vehicle model. The following four digits "B" indicate the model year and production week during which the vehicle was built. The six digits "C" following the hyphen represent the unique sequential number assigned to each vehicle built within a given model year. (See chart below to find your model.) On Club Car® Golf Carts prior to 1981, you can find the serial number by raising the seat and locating 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, you can confirm it is a 1975-1980 model if it has two brake pedals and one accelerator pedal.

Differences Between The DS & Precedent Models

1. 1982-Present DS Models have a distinct square front nose with a small black plastic bumper on the lower part of the front end.
2. 2004-Present Precedent Models have a more rounded front nose with a wide black plastic bumper that wraps all the way around the cart.
3. The DS Models do have a split year which is easy to tell just by looking at the seat backs. If there are 2 individual seat backs that is a characteristic of the 1982-2000.5 models. If there is one continuous seat back that would be indicative to the 2000.5-Present models.
4. The Precedent will have 2 sub models which you will hear referred to as the “Champion” or “Professional” models. Easiest way to tell is the steering wheel,if you cart has a square center it is the Professional if it is round you have a Champion.
