Vintage Cars: 1957 CHEVY 210, cowl tag, tag numbers

Question
My dad's friend has a 1957 Chevy 210, VIN #VB570121178.
He wants to know how many of these were made and if you know of someone or a websit that can help him decode the cowl tag numbers. Thank-You, Janet

Answer
674576 total 210 57's were built or about 43% of total 57 production.

You don't say what body style, so you can look at that for yourself:
