As far as Chevrolet's production I believe the new model year back then was October 1st (or close to it). However the State issuing the title may have used January 1st...it seems to me that a lot of things got standardized around 1955 (States using chassis numbers not engine numbers on titles and vin numbers being stamped on the frame rails etc...
