I got one from Legendary for my 69. I'm pretty certain
that they charged me $89.00 for it. It is the Levant grain in
black.

just a heads up, I recently visited SMS in Canby and although they have
a very impressive selection, make sure you have a sample for them to match
up or you verify before you buy.
I am working on interior stuff for a 57' in the pink/coral color
and their samples of the vinyl were just guesses and the quality of the
vinyl swatch was pretty thin. Assuming I use them when I get to that
point, I plan to request they come up with or make something in a heavier
gauge. 375$ is a huge amount for a vinyl top in my personal
opinion, esp. in parchment/off white. They say their vinyls run $49/yd. and
there isn't much cutting/sewing to a vinyl top.

They claim to have the correct top for my 69 LeBaron Coupe and sent a
small sample of the material.
They want $375 for the top for my car. Seems steep, but what can you
do?
I did not realize that the 1969 LeBarons and Crowns had different
texture on the vinyl.
SMS sent me a sheet which lists six LeBaron roof colors (Blue, V1B;
Green V1F; Walnut V1K; Champagne V1L; White V1W; Black V1X) four Crown
colors (Green, Champagne, White, Black same codes) and list which roof
colors were available with which exterior and interior combinations. Note
that white and black roofs were available for all combinations for both
LeBaron and Crown.

Allan,
Back in 69-79, there was a lot of contract
strikes and if
there was a work slow down while waiting for strike
decisions,
things like this would happen. It was not JUST on
Chrysler
lines, but across the industry. I had a step-cousin that
worked
on the specialty/police line in Belvedere and he said the
they
would drop a bolt down a tranny, just so they could travel
into
the field to address the problems. I would think that some
of
the problems in the Imperials which were made JUST BEFORE
a
strike would have been MORE subjected to these types of
antics.
When my Dad advised me when I was in the market to pick out
my
REAL first car, he said to look into Chrysler, Plymouth,
and
Dodge cars because they were better built and were more likely
to
survive an accident. I had just lost a teenage (my same
age)
friend to a car accident envolving his Dad's Caddy and a
cement
truck. I did not get an Imperial but a new 1970 Cougar. I
had
the car for 14 months and it was in the shop for 2 WEEKS out
of
EVERY ONE of those 14 months. Two weeks AFTER I sold it to
a
FORD dealer, (August, 1971) I replaced it with a 1969
Imperial
LeBaron 4 DrHt, Glacier Blue with a Blue Vinyl roof and
light
Blue Leather interior. It had been a fleet leased car in
Las
Vegas originally. It had 48k miles on it. I was 18 and a
Junior
at the University of Arizona.
Fortunately, I found VERY few
factory antics on it, BUT I did
not like the prep for the column key
that Chrysler by putting the
key on the left side.
BTW, does any
one know where I can purchase a PARCHMENT
coloured vinyl roof
covering? (original textured)
