Ray -

That is what I thought before I got the car, my (Indy) mechanic too and so on.

When picking the car up, I noticed the change holder doubling as an OBD2 cap, and thought perhaps someone simply replaced the original change cap with a later OBD2 one... but, the OBD2 style plug is there (at the time, I did not know the OBD2 style plug configuration differed from the OBD1)

THEN - when I was looking at the under hood emissions sticker - the one that refers to the catalyst and CA emissions compliance. The car is certified as OBD2 compliant. After talking to a few people, it seems that 1996 was the year that OBD2 became mandatory, and you are certain to find OBD2 in 1996 and after, but there are apparently some earlier models which featured it.
