Could this painted roof treatment be similar to that which comprised the Landau
option in 1959? It is a black textured paint. Mine has faded to a dark grey,
and I would also like to bring it back to its jet-black 1959 glory as I'm doing
the restoration. How can this be done without obliterating the texture feature?

Self-Introduction: Hi Fellow Imperial Fans,
I first saw a 1960 (red) Imperial,in an old National Geographic, That
stated "How's your sporting blood?". That add and car caught my eye with
such impact, I started researching the car in the add. To say the least I
knew after many days and months, I wanted a 60.
I then found the online club, (have spent many hours researching), and
then a 1960 Crown,in the cars for sale adds.
The car is in decent shape, some rust, some dents, some scratches, but
overall in good shape. It is a Black 4 door hardtop crown, with blue
leather/clothe interior which needs a little TLC. The car runs great and is
a real head turner....as you all know!
I hope to get all my body work done and mechanical work all done and
repaint done before parade season, so I can show the chevy guys a real car!!
One question: My car, has what looks like,a fake leather top that has been
done with paint. It has been done professionally sometime in the cars life.
It is flat but has a pattern to it simulating leather. Has anyone ever seen
or heard of this? I will probably return it to its original appearence when
I repaint it, unless I can find out more about it.
Please e-mail me so I can "Bond" with fellow Imperialist!!!
Thanks Rob
