Craig,
Congratulations on what sounds like a great buy. I really like the
69s. I believe the '69 Crown was relatively rare-- I'm sure someone
will correct me if I'm wrong-- but I think it only lasted 1 more year,
until 1970 (?), and after that they only offered the LeBaron.
AM radio only was not all that uncommon then, so I don't think your car
is as lacking in the options dept. as you think.
I think you'll really enjoy this "fuselage era" car. They really do
grow on you.
