1962 COPO Impala 409? First COPO?

[Verne_Frantz]

Neat tag Pete. The 1259 was the Delray 4 door sedan, the lowest of the food chain. Black with gray interior. The extra numbers after the interior code are a good indication it "might" have had the police car body option which would include items like the extra sun visor (both padded), a foam rubber seat cushion, thicker rubber floor mats and the extra power lead through the firewall for high amp 12V service. But then, it also could have been a fleet car with other specially ordered body features. It's too bad the car isn't available for a close inspection. It could have been anything: FBI, civil service, taxi, etc. I've seen some Forestry and park service cars but they were always green or gray.
Thanks for posting that. I have a few other '58 COPO tags on file.
