Location: bishop, ca		About all that I can see, is that your car was built in Detroit (but the Detroit 6-cylinder models' VIN's all start with 14280001,
so, that VIN-series includes all of the 6-cylinder Plaza, Savoy, Belvedere, and their stationwagon models, and, even, the Savoy
taxi cabs).

Your best bet is to wait for the Historical Society to re-open to the public, o.o.a. 4/21/14.

That's a Monday, so, I'd send in my request for their info early in the week of 4/14-18/14, because the CHS has been returning
requests-for-information, instead of keeping them on file, until they re-open.

Location: Vancouver, BC		The 6-cylinder Detroit-built Plymouth serial numbers began at 14,280,001 and ended at 14,410,539, making 130,539 built.

This car is number 14,397,294, making it the 117,294th built, if I am reading it right.

1957 was the last Chrysler Corporation used a non-decodable, sequential, numeric serial number.

The other tag - 103 2520 - is the body tag.

103 - Plaza 2dr Business Coupe

2520 - not sure if #1 was 101, or 1001, so it is either the 2,420th built or the 1,520th - in Detroit. Cars built at Evansville would have 103E and LosAngeles 103L. Newark began late in the year and used the letter N.

Total production of the Plaza 2dr Business Coupe came to 2.874.

Location: bishop, ca		1-of 130,539 doesn't mean much, when all of the various models I identified, above, share the same run of serial numbers.
