Re: IML: Stainless steel top a 60 imp

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

Are you sure about that?

I am about 90% certain that I have seen one or two in my life time, 
back in the '60s. One of them was a silver Crown Southampton Two Door 
with a red leather interior, so the silver paint could have fooled me. 
I was probably 10 years old and about 3 and a half feet tall

The other one was a Maroon Crown Two Door Southampton with a white 
leather interior. Also, when I was around 10, but I was riding my 26 
inch bicycle around it. Add that to my meager height and I should have 
been able to see those panels pretty well. Even if the other car had 
painted panels, I have always believe this one to be the real McCoy. I 
think even at 10 if they were painted I would have spotted the 
difference

If they did make them, chances of finding a set now would be pretty 
slim. The ones that were installed on the cars at the factory were spot 
welded to the roof. I mean like 200 spot welds each! Removal without 
damage is practically impossible. A few cars could have had the 
installation at dealer level, which would mean that they would be most 
likely held down with the trim pieces. Even on the factory cars, this 
would have been sufficient considering how the cars are made.

Another fading memory, which may be something that could be cleared up 
in the 1960 sales brochure available on the OIC web site.

They didn't make the stainless inserts for a 2 door. You probably could 
get creative with a 4 door set & make them fit. Actually, I bought a 
set with that in mind, but I ended up getting a Custom 4 door & put 
them on that car instead.
