The addition of extra badges & trim is not unusual for any car. I had a good
look around the Omar Sheriff car a few years ago, that being a 60 Le Baron
Had the lower rear window trim from a 61 imperial fitted.The badges from the
C pillar were moved as well to the rear fender . Why ? I don't know ., But I
suspect it was done to hide the Lead around the rear window. I do have some
photographs I will have dig them out & post them.
Regards
Dave
60 Le Baron sedan.

we know that the cars were different from one year to the next, but '60
Crowns came with the word Crown in block letters over the Imperial signature
on the front fenders. They also have a gold Crown on each rear quarter panel
on the "tail

that the LeBarons had the script on the fenders, but then again I've had
several dreams and that could have been one of them. Who is the trim
aficionado here?
