FD is the car code. Stands for FD3S. Like the 2nd Gen RX-7 is the FC3S.

I believe that was the "Luce" in japan I think the era was '81, the luxury performer. The Cosmo came out of this body? correct?

You got the luce right but the body of the cosmo(either 80+ models) is not simailar.

The luce was from 87-90 I believe...
