What do the letters and numbers stand for on the trunk lid of the Mecedes Cars? Examples: SLK500, CLK350, 30?

The trunk lid number portion stands for the engine size. The letters stand for the model.

The letters "C" "E" and "S" in front of the number (E-320) stand for the trim Klass or wheelbase (Short, Economy, or Long)

Update:

"30" should be "S-420".
