The A and B cars retained their numeric 2 digit month displays throughout the trilogy and there are only a few brief moments where you can see them on screen in non-close up shots. Here's a photo from sometime in the late 80's showing the A car's TCD.
It's amazing that even way back in 1985, Doc Brown had the foresight to use a 4 digit year and avoid the Y2K threat. If only the rest of us paid attention.

....Agreed with mluder - I have never considered building a BTTF car, but this thread is one of my favorites to read. The attention to detail and wealth of information shared is truly impressive.
