Looks tasty. Seems like the engine is probably a 270 cu in 2 bbl "Super Red Ram" double-rocker, not a 325 cu in as has been stated.
Interesting remote spin-on oil filter set up. Probable electric fuel pump.

Dave: Thanks for posting!
In the upper row of the optional codes:
SG – X – Solex Tinted Glass
SV – blank – Sun Cap Visor (Windshield Upper Moulding) – Standard on ’55 Custom Royal (Optional on Coronet and Royal)
EW – blank – No Power Windows
AC – blank – ??? – maybe it is a Accessory Group
?M – can’t see the upper letter above M
?? – P – can’t see as well

That partial view of a 55 Dodge LA build cowl tag is frustrating.
Based on Mike Petersen's "1955 Dodge by the numbers" book, the body code for a D55-3 Custom Royal 2dr Lancer
should be 236. I can see the 2 but not the 3 or the 6.
I can see the 436 trim code which should be
436 = Black Jacquard silver dotted diamond weave fabric with White ribbed Cordagrain Bolsters
For Paint (PNT) all I can see s ?11. There was no n11 paint code
There was 568/569 which were Jewell Black, Cameo Red/Heather Rose and Sapphire White
And 571 which was Heather Rose, Sapphire White and Jewell Black.
So maybe what I am seeing is n71 ??
Frustrating
