Glen I will help you with part of the interpretation. Others may be able to fill in what I can not or possibly correct any errors. A = I am not sure but one interpretation I saw was a combination of 3 things...door guards, vanity mirror and rear license frame. 0313 Date car was scheduled to be built (March 13) M637105143 This is the VIN where M = 1959 6 = Imperial 3 = Crown 7 = Plant where car was built (Dearborn) 105143 means this was the 5143 Imperial built (100001 was the first) 634 means something like a 2 door hardtop (I know 654 means a 4 door hardtop) N = ??? 612 = Interior trim code. This tells you the color and I believe that the number 1 between the 6 and the 2 means the seats had leather trim (bolsters) FFV = Exterior color. This car was highland green with a black landau roof PW = Power windows DL= Door locks 9 = Sure grip H = Heater? I have struggled with the rest other than I think R is radio, RM is remote mirror, AC is air conditioning and 1 represents the axle ratio (2.93) I am not sure about the number 1 Hope this helps.
