Thanks

Thanks 88 coupe for the info. ACC means air, as far as I can find.

Do you know how many A/C cars were built in '56? Trying to find out if this is a rare car to be restored to original or something I can just rod.

There are not any production records kept on that.

TOP and ACC should be followed by codes. With out them, I have no where to go.

Depending on ones perspective, this is either redundant or impossible.

"Restored" would be to return something to a prior state, but it can only be "original" once.

It's a '56 Olds, not a museum piece.
