Any ideas? I've toyed with it briefly, but can't get Google to understand the years in between, or I have yet to see them associate the pages with the years in between. For example; if I sell car parts for a Toyota Supra, rear taillight for model years 1993 - 1998.

Page Title: "1993 - 1998 Toyota Supra Rear Taillight"
Page Description: "1993 - 1998 Toyota Supra Rear Taillight assembly for sale by XYZ company"
H1: "1993 - 1998 Toyota Supra Rear Taillight"

(just being brief)

Is anyone aware if Google associates 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997 with the product page as well? Or do I literally have to spell out each year? Thanks guys!
 
I would add each year at the end of your title tag. Ranges can be ambiguous even for human users, so imagine what it's like for Google.
And as a user, I would definitely be more tempted to click on link that clearly spells out the year I'm interested in, so CTR also comes into play.
 
Figured as much. Was really hoping to not need them, but I couldn't find anything that led me to believe they did understand year ranges.
 
use schema and use year range where needed.

Yep, use schema. If you read schema site, there are instructions on how to code schema for products. Its actually the best way for goober to understand because, at the end of the day, its not that smart. Otherwise, yes, if you want goob to pick it up for a particular year, you want to add in that year. Unless someone does an actual search for "1993 - 1998 ..."
 
I would add the year at the end of the title, Toyota Suprema 1993 and to ensure that the year sticks to the title, never put a longer title for your page that has more than 20 characters, in which the year must be in that 20 character limit.
By putting the year at the end, it does provide the benefit of capturing long tail keywords for specific year, and these keywords sometime are very easy to catch.
