I HAD THE CAR APPRAISED BY A
HERSHEY JUDGE
I WAS TOLD BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER THAT IT
WAS AN X POLICE CAR. There is a number 2 under
the body plate SP code. All the body plates for 1956
dodges that I have seen are blank under the SP
code. SP on GM body plates stand for Special
production. At this time no one has been able to tell
me what the number 2 means.
The car was sold new to a dealer in SC.
The car has power brakes and auto transmission.
