Got most of the info already accept....what the A2 is for , the number 3173 under the number , and finally the trm code of 801...I found everything else out. I know the 80 is for style and material and the 1 is for color...I just don't know which material or color.

It scheduled build date is 02/09/59 Monday Feb 9, 1959....The number 3173 is the Plant Production Sequence Number So it's the 3,173 car built at that plant.
