Re: IML: 1959 Imperial Body Tag Decoding

[Charles Hansen <hansencw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your response about your '59's body tag codes. My car does  
have a sure grip differential and swivel seats. My car has a heater/ 
air conditioner (no rear air) and a rear window defogger. On my tag  
it looks like H0 rather than HO and my car doesn't have a hood ornament.

My car's body tag codes:
A   0406     M657100843
654    N    706    AAV    PW(or V?)     DL9    H1    T
M2    H0    R5    AP7    RM    HD    AC    S

By the way I got info about the paint code (AAV), the trim color  
(706), and the body style (654) from a cover letter with the build  
sheet data I requested from the Chrysler Corporate Historical  
Collection.

My car was built at the Detroit Imperial Assembly Plant on April 8th,  
1959 and was released to shipping on the 15th. So it's 48th birthday  
is soon approaching.
