The serial number is a sequential production number and cannot be decoded. The sequence began in 1924 with the Chrysler Model B at number 1001 and Chrysler worked its way up.
Your car, 20,861,401, falls within the sequence used at the Evansville, Indiana, plant for six cylinder Plymouths - 20,860,001 to 20,891,720. A total of 31,720 1957 Plymouth sixes were built at Evansville that year and yours was the 1,401st 1957 Plymouth six built. Rather early in the model year.
The other tag on the cowl is for the body number. The "E" means the body was built at the Evansville, Indiana, body plant.
Not sure if the Evansville-built 1957 Plymouths had a body tag with the model information and colour on it or not. If the tag does exit it was usually place on the cowl, under the hood, up toward the top. If it is there, the paint code for Dusty Coral would be N.
