From what I understand, 1959 is an oddball year for codes and not much interchanges with other years so there isn't much info out there for them.
Fortunately the popularity of '59 Imperials has increased in recent years so some of you '59 owners should be able to pool info and get better info posted online.

You can also order the IBM punch card (if available) from Chrysler Historical.

This will decode the VIN

This will help with exterior colors and upholstery

The only 2 threads I could find on here that show any option codes

Some info:
- 1218 = 18th of december, 1959.
- M637 = 1959 Imperial Crown built in Detroit (Warren Avenue).
- 635 = Crown convertible.
- 613 = upholstery (cloth and leather) here: http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1959/59Databook/11.jpg
- ZZZ = paint code, Copper Spice Poly.

As for the rest, it's all mystery, as I've never seen any built record sheet, so difficult to reverse-engineer the codes.
