1959 Dataplate

1959 Edsel Data Plate


The 1959 Edsel data plate is 3-1/2 inches wide by 1-3/4 inches high.
Printed on the plate are patent numbers issued to Ford, and the letters "MEL" for Mercury-Edsel-Lincoln.  This plate is specific to the 1959 Edsel - Mercury and Lincoln had their own names on their plates.

The first stamped line contains codes to identify the engine, model year, place of manufacture, body style and consecutive unit number.  The second line identifies the body style, number of doors, colors, interior trim, date of manufacture and other drivetrain options.
