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.

There is one on the ford truck enthusiasts website. I think it only works for trucks but might be worth a try.
