Thanks, Bill, for all of the great information about
the history of LeBaron.  I always enjoy your messages
because I always learn something new.  :)

One minor detail -- the '69-'73 Imperial LeBarons did
use a big filler piece to allow for the smaller rear
window.

The base roof line is visible in this picture of a
1969 Imperial Crown Sedan:

The LeBaron window, using a filler piece to allow for
the smaller glass, can be seein in this picture of a
1971 Imperial LeBaron:

I believe--but am not positive--that a similar filler
piece was used on the '74 and '75 Imperials, which
used the basic New Yorker/Newport roof stamping.

Thanks again for all the great information!

Elijah
