Location: Lower Mainland BC | Looks like it was scheduled for manufacture on Dec. 5th (1956). I can't quite see the Paint Code. Is it 4BCB? or 1BCB? Might be the deluxe two-tone, in the two blues, BBB and CCC.

Greg: For future forum users , if it isn't too much trouble, could you please correlate you comments above to the build tag so the rest of us can learn what is what? (Please) (Thanks)
Specifically to these codes (the ones that I see on the build tag)

Location: Ontario, Canada | Help decoding these Dodge body plates is right here for all forum users, just the same as always! I don't have the extensive info that Neil did but I will do what I can.

Greg I was just hoping for the reasoning how you came up with the list of options and how they relate to the numbers on the build tag/data plate.

Location: Lower Mainland BC | Did you look for your car's broadcast sheet? (like the one below for a 1960 Desoto). Often above the glove box or under the rear seat bottom.
