Trivia:

The Body tag for the 1958 Cadil­lac mod­els car­ries a mys­te­ri­ous code, to the right of the Trim code num­ber.  It con­sists of one or two let­ters, or a let­ter and num­ber.  Some exam­ples are:  “S”, “AX”, “P2″.  These are NOT acces­sory codes or codes for paint and trim.  This vehi­cle car­ries the code “AX” and I am cur­rently doing research to try and fig­ure out what it means.
