Re: 1969-1973 LeBaron Roof Stampings; was Re: IML: The Truth About LeBaron (and not Le Baron)

["Bill Watson" <wwatson5@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you are going to compare roofs, you will need to removed the vinyl
coverings.  If you did, you would find out the steel roof is one piece on
the LeBaron - no filler section.  The vinyl roof is not structural - it is
just a piece of vinyl sheet glued to the steel roof stamping.

For example, the part number for the 1972 Chrysler 4-door hardtop roof
stamping is 3500 630 while the Imperial is 2900 116.  There no other roof
pieces listed for the Imperial, unlike the 1960 which lists the main roof
stamping plus the filler and reiforcement pieces.
