I can tell you is was assembled in March of 1957. The first car assembled in March was 188349 and last was 203457.
Anything inbetween would be a guess.

The approximate assembly date can be calculated. If you subtract the starting serial number from the ending number you will get the total assembled for that month. If you then proportionate the serial number to the total and multiply that by the 31 days in March you will get 22.5. That suggests that the vehicle in question was assembled during the 22nd of March 1957. Of course all that assumes constant production volume without any days off or reduced shifts. So the date has to be considered approximate.

March 22, 1957 was a Friday, and you know what they say about Friday cars.
