1958 Dataplate

1958 Edsel Data Plate


(Citation/Corsair)


The Senior Series 1958 Edsel data plate is 4-1/8 inches wide by 2-1/4 inches high.
Printed on the plate is the EDSEL name and patent numbers issued to the Edsel Division.

The first stamped line ("Serial Number") contains codes to identify the engine, model year, place of manufacture, body style and consecutive unit number.  There are asterisks before and after the number to assure that no other numbers were added to the serial number.
The second line is made up of two codes ("Style" and "Body Specif.") which identifies the body style, number of doors, colors, interior trim, date of manufacture and other drivetrain options.

(Paint color codes are up to three letters, for main body, roof and scallop.  Edsels with manufacturing plant code "J" do not
show a third letter, and Citation convertibles will have a space in place of the second or third letter to indicate no roof paint.)
