1211-1956 Mark II BODY SPECIF. Plate

[rlafash]

I am new to the forum, however, not new to collector cars as I currently own a 1966 Buick Skylark GS convertible; a 1967 Olds 442 Holiday Hard Top; a 1969 Camaro Z28. I did own a 1962 Trunderbird Sports Roadster. I'm not exclusively GM!

I am consider the purchase of a 1956 Mark II. I have not seen the car although I have had the car "looked at" by an associate. He feels the car is solid and drives well. Before proceeding, I'd like to know how to decipher the BODY SPECIF. plate. It appears as follows:

05-56C-4-914-5

Correct information is appreciated. Thank you.

Dick:
Welcome to the forum. Could you please post a pic of this VIN plate? That would make things much easier. Thanks. John

Thank you for responding. I do not have a photo of the VIN plate. I have been given information on a line of the plate marked BODY SPECIF. which has the following information
05-56C-4-914-5

O5 is exterior Forest Green Iridescent
56C-4 is a DSO (Dealer Special Order)
I cannot locate this DSO.
If you have the VIN, we can track it that way.
Please post the VIN. John

For example we have at least two cars it might be:
C5691281 or
C5691282
That's why we need the VIN. JDS

Got the VIN for this car C5691211

I'm also looking at C56K3416
I have located both vehicles in the data base, however the "codes" remain unclear.

Any assistance is appreciated.
