Re: IML: 1960 Imperial - Crown?

[Christopher H <imperial67@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If it's actually a Crown Imperial, it's a limousine (built in Italy by Ghia
in incredibly small numbers) and will be noticeably longer than a regular
production Imperial.

What you likely have, per everyone else's helpful clues, is an Imperial
Crown.

The 1960 Imperial models, lowest to highest, were:

 - Custom
 - Crown
 - LeBaron
 - Crown Imperial (limo)

Yes, Chrysler did all it could to make the Imperial brand confusing! I
cannot think of any other car where they used the same words in different
order to indicate two vastly different models!
