This thread has me thinkin' what they said way back in the day (about 90 years ago)
Little Kid: "Hey Mister, what'cha got there? One of them new fangled carriages without a horse?"
Car owner: "Yup. It's the newest Ford Model T."
Little Kid: "What year is it?"
Car Owner: "Got me a '14!"
We'll have this discussion all through the "teen" years -- and it just won't sound quite right. We're all so used to hearing "It's a sixty-something" or "It's a ninety-something", etc.
