Think the first line is ST71.
13637 ~ Malibu 2-dr sport coupe trim level
B ~ Baltimore
726654 ~ Fisher Body data processing number
722 ~ Ant. Dk. Saddle Elk Coated Fabric (bucket)
4242 ~ lower/upper body color - Cottonwood Green (not a commonly found color)
A ~ probably the week part of the assembly date
B D ~ Seen these letters before on other Baltimore tags but meaning is unknown at this time.
0518 ~ Assembly tracking numbers and of no real significance today.

VIN sequence number (191882) indicates probably mid-April assembly. Last reported VIN for March was 181876 and April was 198933.
