Thanks to that website about cars used in movies I discovered why the original DVD listed Connie's birth year as 1927. They apparantly based that date on the car in which Vito and his family drive when they first returned to Sicily, as that car apparantly is a Fiat 503 Torpedo from 1927. However, according to The Godfather Legacy and Godfather book it was 1922/1923, apparantly based on Coppola's personal notes. If you look at the little boy in Vito's arm (which is Michael) I think there's now way he could have been older than 4 years old. What do you guys think?

That is likely given the time line.
It is better to beg for forgivness than ask for permission.

Well, there's another mistake: The car is a Fiat 501, predecessor of the 503, which was made between 1919 and 1925. No way that scene could have been shot in 1927. Michael was born ca. 1919, and, as you point out, he's 3 or 4 years old at most in that scene. If Connie was 18 in 1945, she'd have been born in 1927.
