I was looking through some old papers and found this build sheet that I pulled from my '59 Dodge Custom Royal 4-door sedan parts car. It was taped to the back of the glove box.

Each car had several Broadcast Sheets attached to different parts of them.

Your B.-Sheet was annotated on its "Special Instructions" box to identify how that particular dash was to be created and painted.

It says "all-Black" and "Custom Royal"; apparently without any other accoutrements, like a "Crash Pad" or "convertible-contol"
or "power tail gate window lift" any of the other optional devices/controls that were installed onto a 1959 Dodge dash board.

When the dash board was finished, its "instruction manual" (the B.-Sheet) was taped to its back, so that, when it arrived at the
assembly line, along with the car body, a Line Supervisor could confirm that 'this' dash' did get to be installed into 'that' body.

Some B.-Sheets, for whatever reasons, were left, taped onto the glove boxes, as a sort of a Time Capsule/gift to the future.

Note option code 429 : "Roof Molding"--that's a bit of a typo; it confirms the quarter panel "gills".

Option 501 is Undercoating, and the Axle Ratio 533 is the "Hi-Performance" 3.31:1

Its tires were Rayon 8.00x 14" white walls.

Its paint scheme was mis-inked; the "2" means that it was the least-complex 2-tone (called The "Deluxe"!), but only one of
the two colors is identified: "Beige", and the second color would only appear on the car's fins.

It did have the black/white swivel seats.

Nice parts-car!
