mistake in door data plate?

[Thunderhans]

My door data plate shows a "5" (five) axle code. Up to now I only found the axle codes "0", "1" and "3" as being available for 1958 - 1959.

Could there be a mistake in my data plate? x(
Or does anyone know of the "5" axle code?

I have sent a picture of the data plate to the registry, where it can soon be witnessed.

Oke, I found the answer myself!

For who ever is also interested:

REAR AXLE CODES 1959
CODE/DESCRIPTION

1 3.10:1 (Cruise-O-Matic)
3 3.70:1 (Standard and Overdrive)
5 2.91:1 (430 Engine)
0 2.91:1 (430 Engine)
A 3.10:1 Equa Lock (Cruise-O-Matic)
C 3.70:1 Equa Lock (Standard and Overdrive)
F 2.91:1 Equa Lock (430 Engine)

So, I have the 2,91:1 rear axle.
