Re: IML: Ranking of models and packages

Hi David,

Example:

Plymouth had three model levels: Savoy, Belvadere, and Fury. Each model progressively had a more deluxe interior and exterior package. Imperial had the same system named Custom, Crown and LeBaron. Each Model also cost progressively more. For the most part, aside from the trim packages, the cars were the same with standard options for each model. The styles can vary Sedan, Southampton, four door, two door, hard top, etc. The Convertibles usually were a Crown two door only. Almost every interior package had many color and texture options along with secondary mechanical options, that could be ordered at the dealer, so each and every car is unique onto its self. LeBarons would have sold for more new, but convertibles are getting a better resale today. I find that a cars value is a combination of it's original design, unique options and level of correct restoration (or original condition).

Hope this gives clarity.

Imperially Yours,

Subject: IML: Ranking of models and packages

Folks,

I've searched on the site and elsewhere for this info, and maybe I missed
it, but I don't quite understand the rakings of models and/or packages in
the Imperial line. In the '61s for example, where does a LeBaron sit vs. a
Crown or Southampton?

Thanks,
