I think there is a bunch of may ones, but it would be interesting to know how dealers were selected, what ports they came through, factory production records, heck that info or some of it is probably already here!

This one was sold new in CT according to the Vehicle history report. Didnt stay there long. Kind of surprised CT would have had such an early one.

What dealerships received the first barge of cars from Korea?

Winner March of 87.

I have a new project. Search out the earliest or latest Festiva I can find and buy it!

Yes, I am resurrecting a 2 year old thread, butI dont see the point in posting a new one when this is the topic it really matches in.
I have a 3/87 stickered car. Pretty early for a US model.
