 The car you bought is a series 62 Coupe style 58-6237. The Coupe DeVille s style 58-6237DX. THe Seville is style 58-6237SDX. The other numbers mean: paint 10 is Black,Trim 30 is Black and White Moroccan Cloth with white coated fabric.The FW is the fleetwood body number. The A2 is a production code  January 1958 ,week 2. The accessory codes are ;E=tinted glass, H=heater,K=air cond.,V=6 way seat, and X=power windows.The differences in your car to a Coupe DeVille are in triming styles,fabric choices, standard equipment (example: 6way seat is standard on DeVille) and Exterior chrome.Warren
