Chappell,
I own coach #531 and the build sheet shows a date of 5-10-98. Remember these are custom coaches that take quite a while to build. My coach was not completed until very late 1998 or early 1999. I base this on that there is a modification sheet dated 11-24-1998 as part of the build sheet.
Tom is right, they do seem to be a model year ahead. FYI there were seven 1999 model Newells built after mine and the last one was manufactured with the "smiley face" front end that became the 2000 standard. Coach #505 is very close to the first 1999 model built.
Good luck with your search......................
