The year 1955 sticks in my mind, too. Certainly the changeover began in the mid-1950s, and the US automakers had switched from 6 volt positive ground to 12 volt negative ground by the end of the 1950s. A few imports stayed with 6 volt systems into the 1960s, however. Volkswagen didn't switch over until 1966, and I believe the same was true of Opel. I owned a '65 Opel Kadett which had a 6 volt system.
