Code for the paint color -- Canadian built 56 Chev's paint codes are the same as the Canadian built 56 Pontiacs except the Chev first number is a 1 and the Pontiac is a 2 -- 2-tone combinations used to be shown at this source: http://www.classicbowtie.com/1955-1957%20Chevrolet%20Canadian%20Cowl%20Tag%20Information.htm -- looks like that site has vanished into the ether, however I searched a while and came across this:

If you scroll down a bit you will see that your 2603 = Sherwood Green Metallic over Pinecrest Green (interestingly, my car's original color was the color of your roof, Sherwood Green Metallic) -- and that sure looks like the colors on your car now.

Body No:1311
Your car was the 1,311th 4-dr sedan off the assembly line

Trim: 905
Highland green

This is the serial number of the motor, stamped on the block


see above
