Middle row:
2 = 2speed Powerflite Transmission
5 = Heater
2 = Power Brakes
1 = Black Convertible Top
2 = Color Sweep
1 = Undercoating
7 = Delivery Route
Am I right?

Seeing as a Firesweep is a Dodge under the skin, Dodge info might help with the interpretation. Below I have attached an IBM card from what I believe (from the VIN) to be a Detroit-built 1957 Firesweep, followed by a matched pair of 57 Dodge Broadcast sheet and cowl tag. Maybe it will help??

Thanks Dave, but this is 1958 DeSoto, not 1957 (Dodge as well)
They have different codes... not all to match with ’57 codes…
Even the body style codes are different: fourth-digit in 1957 and triple in 1958…
I just tried to decipher and will wait the owner’s reply
I have some doubts about code 2 = color sweep
