These are the trim codes for Estate Wagons. The Buick Master Body Parts Book
I have lists them separately, though they are identical to the codes listed
above. I assume this means that the Estate Wagons could only be had in these
trim numbers, so I am listing them here in a separate chart for completeness.

The PAINT line on your cowl tag indicates the paint color and options for this vehicle. Single
color vehicles would have the same color code repeated ("AA") or only have a
single letter present. Two tone vehicles always have a second letter designating
the second (lower) color for the vehicle. If the vehicle is a convertible, the
second letter may indicate the exterior color of the top fabric.
Here is a complete listing of the 1958 trim codes from the copy of the
1936-1959 Buick Master Body Parts Book I have with extra codes from an original
1958 Buick dealer color brochure. Color codes denoted with a * were commonly
known as "spring colors" that were not available at the beginning of the model
year.
