    Okay, I found where I saw it. In my copy of the relevant Standard
Catalog of American Cars, in the 'story' part of the chapter on Imperials,
there's a photo caption reading '1969 Crown imperial Southampton'.
    Now that I've found the source and learned it's spurious,  I'll stop
using that nomenclature.
