RE: IML: New topic Imperial 1960

You can find all this information on the Imperial website.  You access it by
going to www.imperialclub.org  and then click on "Imperials By Year" and
then click on 1960 and then click on "Factory Service Manual".  

On page 6, you will find that a serial number beginning with 92-041, as
yours does, is a FOUR-door Crown sedan built in Detroit.  The starting
vehicle number was 92-04100026 so yours would be the 42nd car built of that
series:

You described yours as a 2-door.  But I don't see any 2-door cars listed, so
maybe the 92-041 applies to ALL Crown Imperials.  Page 5 seems to imply
that:  
http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1960/FSM/html/__-005.htm

It's also possible somebody somewhere in the last 47 years switched out the
serial number plate, but I have no reason why.  This same number should
appear on the title.  It's important to make sure that the title matches the
actual serial number found on the car.  The location for that tag is shown
here:
http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1960/FSM/html/__-005.htm


More information about options etc. will need to be deduced from the body
tag.  I see we have incomplete information for 1960 but you might look at
the years around it to see what you can discern:

Hope that helps.  I have a '61 and a '63 which are different animals than
your 1960 (though 1960 is a BEAUFIFUL, WONDERFUL car as well).
