For ease of reference, I might just as well decipher the complete sales codes part of the broadcast sheet in post #193. Square brackets indicate conjectures based on what should be there. When possible I confronted the sales code descriptions with items mentioned in the 1977 Plymouth Police Cars brochure or the 1977 Plymouth Data Book. Standard/optional relates to the A38 package or to the Brougham trim level. Notes contain confirmations or contradictions between the codes and what is actually on the car.
Edit: "Undocumented" means I couldn't find any info in 1977-related material at my disposal (Data Book, Color And Trim options, Sales Code List printed on the back of the broadcast sheet, order sheet and window stickers.
There are some surprises for sales code buffs.
Corrections and additions welcome! Two old ads with pics (at
