I re-read the side bar and see that they claim that for 1975 there were only 67 LeBaron Crown Coupes made. Articles like this often get things wrong, but it is worth checking.

For 1975. there WAS a Crown Coupe option. I know this due to the fact that I have one sitting in my driveway. They were a limited number car....about 1500 and the differnces were small, such as a 3/4 type vinyl top and a few other very small things.
