Convert vehicle attributes to a human-readable format #2

Open clpo13 opened 6 years ago

clpo13 commented 6 years ago

The vehicle attributes section (characters 4-8) is displayed as-is. It should be converted to human-readable information, such as model, engine type and size, vehicle type, and so on, per 49 CFR 565.15 paragraph (b).

Both this and #1 will require querying the vPIC API. Vehicle attribute information is provided directly to NHTSA by manufacturers, so the NHTSA database is the best place to decode that information.
