Correct!! If the fenders were stamped by GM in 1993, but the fender model is for a 69 they are NOS. New Old Stock doesn't mean every single part was made in 1969 only and none thereafter. It simply means that are part is new, but the stock is old due to the part being discontinued and no longer being made by the manufacturer. The "Old" part doesn't mean it is 30, 40, 50 years old. If a part was made in 2008 and is no longer made by the manufacturer in 2013, then it is now new, old stock and it is only 5 years old. Once a manufacturer decides to not produce anymore of a specific part that's when it's considered "old stock" because it could sit on the shelves for months to years due to it not being much of a need for that part. Which may be why the manufacturer decided to stop production in the part to begin with. There are other factors in there as well, like when GM breaks down the tooling to stop production on a specific part, etc.
