If you can post a photo of the data tag (not the VIN tag) that is less than 250 kB (e.g. 1024 x 768) in size,
there are folks here that will take a stab at it.

.jpg is preferred but a .jpeg from an Apple product will "work" if it is less than 250 kB.

Something like this one:

You may try to find the data plate under the hood on the radiator splash panel – between the grille and radiator itself.

1959 Chrysler cars were built by two American assembly plants: Los Angeles and Jefferson. Los Angeles data plate traditionally located under the hood on the cowl panel, near the right hood hinge.
Early Detroit data plates were located on the radiator splash panel. Since April 1959 approximately the data plates moved to the driver’s side pillar and replace the vehicle no. tag.

The latest car with data plate attached on the radiator splash panel I’ve seen was built on March 5, 1959 and the earliest car with data plate on the driver’s pillar was built on April 10, 1959…

The letter series were built at Detroit Plant only;
So look either this on the radiator splash panel or on the driver's post...
