Joe:
Southampton refers to the pillarless
hardtop, custom is the base model, crown is the middle of the line and LeBaron is the very best. Customs and Crowns came in 2 and
4 door Southampton styles as well as a four door pillared
sedan. Most convertibles were Crowns. LeBarons came
as four door sedan and Southampton styles in the 50’s and I think were 2 and 4 door southamptons in the 60’s and
70’s.
To sum it up a Southampton is a body style and Custom, Crown and LeBaron
are basically Trim levels.
Hope this helps sort out your confusion:
Ernie and The Black Bitc_!!
58 LeBaron 4 door Southampton.

Subject: IML: Imperial names . .
.what's it all mean?
LeBaron, Southhampton, Crown, Derham . . . wow.
Is there a comprehensive source of information I could
read that would teach me about the Imperial names; what they mean to a
prospective buyer? My primary era of interest is the 1960’s.
I’m hopeful there is an Imperial convertible in
my future. I grew up riding in several different Imperials and driving
Mom’s ’68 Imperial LeHampton SouthCrown Baron . . . or whatever.
Help.
