Re: IML: 61 Imperial added info needed



Hello Joe,
 
Two years ago a bought a beatiful 1960 Imperial Crown, it is Alaska White with a red interior.
To give you an idea, you will find some pics at: http://s237.photobucket.com/albums/ff98/Robert2912/
 
Since I don't know anything about the history of the car (I bought it at an auction in Sacramento) I was wondering if you can
decode the VIN number for me to provide me with some information about this car.
The VIN is  9204-116664  , So I guess this car was built in Detroit (and not in the separate Jefferson plant were all Imperials were supposed to be built?).
I hope you can give me some extra info with regard to this VIN number, would be great to know something more about my car!
 
Many thanks beforehand,
 
Robert

Subject: IML: 61 Imperial added info needed

A serial number issue has showed up. It seems there are 61 Imperials with the 4th digit either being a 3 or a 4. A 4 means built in Detroit and a 3 is Jefferson Assembly. Jefferson was to be Imperials and Detroit was other makes mixed with Imperials. Will be checking further to confirm as we go.
   Also have discovered that a few people were told they had a Crown and it is a Custom instead according to the serial number. So, when sending all this info, do a serial as such: example as my 61 LeBaron: 9313-187059.  By adding the dash it will help to confuse the theifs if any, thinking a digit is missing.
   I will add info needed inquiries as things proceed to make this efficient. I will be doing other years, bt at present, I don't want an overload and I would like to do all the years if possible. joe machado
