7    essential parts other than hulks, chassis, frames or cowls,
8    shall apply only to those essential parts which are 6 model
9    years of age or newer. In determining the model year of
10    such an essential part it may be presumed that the
11    identification number of the vehicle from which the

13    the essential part itself acquired by the licensee denotes
14    the model year of that essential part. This presumption,
15    however, shall not apply if the gross appearance of the
16    essential part does not correspond to the year, make or
17    model of either the identification number of the vehicle
18    from which the essential part is alleged to have come or
19    the identification number which is affixed to the essential
20    part itself. To determine whether an essential part is 6
21    years of age or newer within this paragraph, the model year
22    of the essential part shall be subtracted from the calendar
23    year in which the essential part is acquired or disposed of
24    by the licensee. If the remainder is 6 or less, the record
25    of the acquisition or disposition of that essential part
26    shall be kept as required by this Section.
