MD1 is '59 Dodge 6-cyl, MD2 is '59 Dodge V8. These
numbers might possibly be limited to Coronets with
bigger Dodges getting MD3 (pure speculation, I don't
know '59 Dodge part numbers as well as all that). The
instrument cluster on a '59 Dodge sat tall enough that
it might require a different base than the others.
Again, this is also speculation.
