Unknown Letter
Various letters are found on some Baltimore and Kansas City trim
tags. Below are some of the letters along with the Fisher Body style
number it/they were found on as of July 19, 2014. Sometimes there is no
space between the letters and sometimes there is. Their meaning is not
documented but there are some trends that one can draw their own
conclusion from.

Malibu series Custom El Camino, and I6
Greenbrier station wagon,

El Camino,
sometimes with B.
