3645 - 1957 VIN/serial number help

Hi, I'm looking for a little help decoding this VIN/serial #. I believe it is a 1957 MkII. What does each character/number mean?

C56Q3645.

Thank you
Mike

Thank you John. Unfortunately since I am a new member I can not access those links in your response. Are you able to type back just the VIN decode?

Regards
Mike

HISTORICAL INFORMATION:
(1) 9/18/2013 Contributed by Forum Member Chuck Lutz - 3645 Santa Clara - I recently was looking at a consignment car lot in Santa Clara and ran across this 57 and took some photos which I forgot about and discovered today... it was at "Wheels and Deals" on the El Camino in Santa Clara back last fall, I believe. He was asking $17,500. Not sure if it sold or not. .
