The Crown was a model name, compared to "Custom" (lower level) or "LeBaron" (higher level). Equate to Cadillac Series 62, de Ville, and Fleetwood. The "Southampton" designation merely denoted a hardtop, either 2-door or 4-door. There were 4-door (pillared) sedans in each of the three model lines. In other words, you could have a Crown (i.e. sedan) that wasn't a Southampton; the same as you could have a Southampton (LeBaron hardtop) that wasn't a Crown.
