Question Late build date

i picked up a 2018 leftover on 12/18 and noticed on the label where it shows build date that it was 10/18. I was under the impression they were already building 2019s that late. Curious as to when Ford starts building its next MY vehicles?

When I was looking in late November the dealer had some 18's on order that they said hadn't been built yet. I don't think they all arrived until December. I guess they could have been sitting on the factory lot waiting for shipping, who knows.

I think Ford waits the longest in the year to switch over to the next model year.
