Chuck:
From my Ford parts book, '49-'59, here's the info:
M-292 engine, 200 or 202 HP. 6-'56. R-Assembly plant, San Jose. V-body style, 2 dr. Victoria. 1002077, consecutive number. Ford started each year at 100,000, so your car was the 2077th car assembled for '56. Very early! Possibly built on the first day of production.
64C-Fairlane Victoria. ME-Goldenglow yellow bottom, Colonial white above. AD-White vinyl and black cloth interior. 15J-Sept 15 (I told you it was a very early car), 664-the 664th car scheduled at that plant that day.
