Here's a link for the first half of it...

http://www.theclassicford.com/1955_ford_id_numbers.htm

U=272...5=1955...R=San Jose...G=Mainline & Customline 2 door sedan, 2 door coupe and 4-door sedan ... 130107= production number


Another link for '55 & '56 that also includes the codes for the second line. It's a pdf image of some faded pages but I think you can find what you're looking for.
It may take a couple moments to load and you probably have to 'open' the pdf...

73B=Customline Fordor sedan...KE=(body color, two tone) K=Buckskin Brown & E=Snowshoe White
AU=(interior color) AU=White Vinyl & Dark Copper bodycloth
24 C = 24th day of (C) March ('56)
6883D = Daily 'production number'


Here's a link to a bigger chart with codes for '49 to '59.
Click on the "Page 1" and "Page 2" links at the bottom of the opening page.
